摘要
We report an experimental demonstration of an integrated biochemical sensor based on a slot-waveguidemicroring resonator. The microresonator is fabricated on a Si3N4-SiO2 platform and operates at a wavelength of 1.3 mu m. The transmission spectrum of the sensor is measured with different ambient refractive indices ranging from n = 1. 33 to 1.42. A linear shift of the resonant wavelength with increasing ambient refractive index of 212 nm/refractive index units (RIU) is observed. The sensor detects a minimal refractive index variation of 2 X 10(-4) RIU. (c) 2007 Optical Society of America.
