An integrated volatile organic compounds (VOC) sensor based on silicon photonic ring resonator system is presented in this paper. A thin absorption layer is coated on the silicon surface required to selectively trap the target gas and response as refractive index change. This acts as the main sensing unit, which subsequently affect the resonance peak position. The relative high sensitivity (1.7 pm/...
We demonstrate a novel way to control the coupling rate in coupled ring resonators by controlling the relative position of the nanowires between the two cavities to modulate the resonance frequencies. A new system is presented and experimental results show that by tuning the coupling rate, the coupled ring resonators can be stimulated at the same time due to the same resonance frequency. This study...
This paper demonstrates the optically induced self-excited relaxation oscillation in a silicon ring resonator for the first time. The observed thermo-optomechanical oscillation has a unique waveform with fast oscillation period close to 16 ns and slow oscillation period approximately 167 ns. The ultra-fast oscillation period can be well used in optical switch and optical memory elements. Particularly,...
A Nano-opto-mechanical pressure sensor using optical force is reported in this paper. The pressure sensor consists of a square diaphragm, a ring resonator and four waveguides. By applying a pressure ranging from 900 kPa to 990 kPa, the output intensity ratio sensitivity of −2.272 /kPa is achieved. Compared with traditional MEMS pressure sensor, the proposed ring pressure sensor has advantages such...
In this paper, an optical switch driven by the optical force is demonstrated based on Nanoelectromechanical system (NEMS) technology. The switch consists of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) and a ring resonator. One of the MZI arms is suspended to enable optical switching by optical force induced displacement. The optical force is introduced by injecting a control light into the ring resonator...
In this paper, a Nano-opto-mechanical (NOM) switch is designed, simulated and experimentally demonstrated, using the electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT)-like effects of coupled-ring resonator. The control of the switch is realized by optical force between the silicon waveguide and the dielectric substrate. As the injection pump power increases from 0 to 6 mW, the normalized power of transmission...
