  • Abstract
    A Photonic Crystal ring resonator based force sensor is proposed. The device consists of Photonic crystal slab integrated on top of a 220nm thick silicon cantilever and is capable of sensing forces as small as 10nN. The sensitivity is derived as 8.33nN for a wavelength resolution of 0.1nm with a high quality factor of 16000.
