Microsphere Coupled Mach-Zehnder Interferometer for Biochemical Sensor

Article Preview

Abstract:

We present the microsphere coupled Mach–Zehnder interference structure. We theoretically calculate that spectral responses of this structure vary with the glucose solution concentrations. It can produce the sharply asymmetric Fano resonance line shape related to the slope between zero and unity transmission. The variation of the normalized transmission is linearly related to the solution concentration. This structure is the promising highly sensitive biochemical sensor due to high quality factor resonance and steep slope over a very narrow frequency range
