Ultra compact biochemical sensor built with two dimensional photonic crystal microcavity

By measuring the resonant wavelength of a two-dimensional photonic crystal microcavity, we can detect the change in refractive index of 0.002. Evaporative process of water in 5% glycerol is used to demonstrate time-resolved sensing capability
