Abstract :
We report the experimental results of a highly sensitive silicon photonic biosensor based on two cascaded ring resonators operating in transverse-magnetic mode. The sensitivities of wavelength interrogation method and intensity interrogation method reach 24,300 nm/RIU and 2,430 dB/RIU, respectively.
