  • Abstract
    Low-power indium phosphide microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) cantilever resonators with integrated optical waveguides for bio-chemical sensing are presented. Resonant frequencies up to 168.8 kHz (Q=26.5) have been measured in air and mass detection of 510 fg/100 Hz is possible.
