How would a signal look like from our micro-ring resonator #MRR #biosensor?
We observe a spectrum in a wavelength range around 1.55 µm by coupling the laser radiation into an array of five MRRs, see bottom figure. It is notable that each MRR has a curved triangular shape of different size this causes the resonance peak of each MRR to occur at different positions in the spectrum.
In the spectrum range investigated, we observed four groups of resonance peaks corresponding to four standing waves occurring to each of the five rings.
Determining the perimeter of the ring was challenging. I used #ImageJ to draw a polygon that approximated the triangular shape and measured the perimeter. Then, with the use of the formulas obtained from P. Steglich, et al(https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/9568878), it was possible to determine the effective refractive index nff and the order m of the standing wave.
