Analysis of whispering-gallery microcavity-enhanced chemical absorption sensors.
A theoretical analysis of the operation of a chemical sensor based on cavity-enhanced optical absorption is given for a system in which the cavity is a dielectric whispering-gallery microresonator. Continuous-wave input is assumed, and the detection sensitivity is characterized in terms of an effective absorption path length. In the case of tunable single-frequency input, it is shown that monit...
متن کاملCavity-enhanced laser absorption spectroscopy using microresonator whispering-gallery modes.
Tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy using microresonator whispering-gallery modes (WGMs) is demonstrated. WGMs are excited around the circumference of a cylindrical cavity 125 mum in diameter using an adiabatically tapered fiber. The microresonator is very conveniently tuned by stretching, enabling the locking of an individual WGM to the laser. As the laser is scanned in frequency over ...
متن کاملIntracavity chemical absorption sensing using microresonator whispering-gallery modes
Chemical absorption is investigated using the evanescent fraction of a whispering-gallery mode (WGM). An effective absorption path length of about 50 cm is obtained in methane sensing and about 100 cm in a liquid dye solution.
متن کاملThe Detection of Helicobacter hepaticus Using Whispering-Gallery Mode Microcavity Optical Sensors
Current bacterial detection techniques are relatively slow, require bulky instrumentation, and usually require some form of specialized training. The gold standard for bacterial detection is culture testing, which can take several days to receive a viable result. Therefore, simpler detection techniques that are both fast and sensitive could greatly improve bacterial detection and identification...
متن کاملCharacterization of Optical Microcavity Whispering-gallery-mode Resonators
In the past decade, optical microcavity whispering-gallery mode (WGM) resonators have received increasing attention for applications in optical communications and nanotechnology. In this paper, the theory for describing radiation transfer and heat transfer in the micro/nanoscale devices is presented first. Then the characteristics of waveguide-microdisk coupling WGM miniature resonators are num...
