An enhanced biosensing model in coupled optical microresonators

We theoretically investigate a sensitivity-enhanced sensing by using a coupled optical microcavities structure in which a sharp asymmetrical Fano resonance is supported. The coupled mcirocavities gives rise to faster changes in output transmission than that from a single cavity.
