Abstract :
The paper deals with the possibility of using photonic crystals for sensing purpose. The optical properties of photonic crystals allow to realize sensing devices characterized by a high degree of compactness and a good resolution of the quantity to detect. A particular attention is devoted to force/pressure sensors and the design of a PhC microcavity pressure sensor is reported
