Problems solved by technology

For a microring resonator, when the concentration of the target substance to be measured changes, the effective refractive index of the microring waveguide changes, resulting in a certain change in the resonance peak of the microring. A single microring based on biosensing, using a common Microring structure and slot waveguide structure, the detection limit is from 10-4 to 10-7. In general, the two basic detection methods for optical sensing are wavelength scanning and intensity scanning. However, for the wavelength scanning method, for The normal way to measure the shift of the resonance peak is to combine photodetectors and high-precision tunable lasers, or to use broadband light sources and spectrometer (OSA) analysis systems. However, these devices are usually relatively expensive and not suitable for low-cost systems. application, and for OSA or tunable lasers, the detection sensitivity is limited by the detection accuracy of OSA and tunable lasers; and for intensity scanning, set a wavelength, when the resonance peak drifts, the output light intensity will change, However, due to the small width of the resonance peak, the response power quickly approaches zero as the refractive index changes, so the measurement range is limited
