ABSTRACTWith the focus on bio terrorism and environmental sensing, there is need for development of smart integrated bio-chemical sensors. We investigate Whispering Gallery Mode (WGM) based High Q micro cavity as a biosensor. We integrate the lab-on-a-chip approach with High Q technology to develop highly selective and smart sensors for in-situ detection of aqueous media based agents. We have investigated the ring based micro-cavity structure as a sensor. We identify the detection of agent through the changes observed in the wavelength shift and Q factor as a result of enzyme-substrate interactions. We report an experimental demonstration of a compact micro-cavity based biochemical sensor based on the micro ring structure. The micro-cavity, fabricated on a silica-on-silicon substrate, is designed to have a resonant wavelength (l) near 1.34 μm. The transmission spectrum of the sensor is measured with different ambient refractive indices ranging from n =1.0 to 1.5. Chemical detection was achieved by measuring the shift in resonant wavelength, and variation to the quality factor

Based on the optical resonance principle and the tight-binding theory, a hybrid mirror chirped porous silicon photonic crystal is proposed. The control of the defect mode in hybrid mirror chirped porous silicon photonic crystal is studied. Through the numerical simulation, the control regulations of the defect modes resulted by the number of the periodical layers for the fundamental unit and the cascading number of the chirped structures are analyzed, and the split and the degeneration of the defect modes resulted by the change of the relative location between the mirror structures and the quasi-mirror structures are discussed. The simulation results show that the band gap would be broadened with the increase of the chirp quantity and the layer number of unilateral chirp. Adjusting the structural parameters of the hybrid mirror structure, the multimode characteristics will occur in the band gap. The more the cascading number of the chirped units, the more the number of the filtering channels will be. In addition, with the increase of the relative location between the mirror structures and the quasi-mirror structures, the degeneration of the defect modes will occur and can obtain high Q value. The structure can provide effective theoretical references for the design the multi-channel filters and high Q value sensors.
