Abstract

Theoretical and numerical studies regarding the possibility of using simple laterally coupled microring resonators as refractometers are presented in this work. We have considered a core waveguide layer with its refractive index varying in the range 1.5...2 deposed on the silicon dioxide thermal grown layer. The waveguide width is set for achieving single-mode condition at 1.55 &mgr;m radiation wavelength. The aim of this work is finding the optimum configurations for microring resonators based refractive index sensors.
