Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, the evanescent wave coupling method used in this patented structure strongly depends on the processing technology and the rationality of the designed planar ring microcavity coupling system. The slight roughness of the finished product surface will cause a large loss of light, which is not conducive to The coupling of evanescent wave and the continuous transmission of light; the coupling distance between the planar annular microcavity and the optical waveguide structure needs to be precisely controlled by secondary processing, which increases the difficulty of processing
In addition, the unique planar ring structure of the planar ring microcavity is short in coupling length with the optical waveguide, which is not conducive to efficient coupling; the unique ring structure of the planar ring microcavity is integrated on the cantilever beam, and the ring diameter is relatively short compared with the length of the cantilever beam, which is not conducive to Phase accumulation when the planar annular microcavity is deformed; the input and output ends of the optical waveguide are directly connected to the light source, and the coupling efficiency is also low
