Abstract :
An integrated nano photonic molecule was demonstrated by utilizing notched micro ring resonators. By creating a notch in the ring resonator, large spectral splittings at nm scale can be achieved, compared to only pm scale observed by fiber tip evanescently coupled to the surface of microsphere, thereby significantly lowered the quality factor requirement for single nanoparticle detection.
