arXiv:1805.00062 · doi:10.1016/j.matt.2020.07.008
Abstract
Optical whispering gallery mode (WGM) microresonators, confining resonant photons in a microscale resonator for long periods of time, could strongly enhance light-matter interaction, making it an ideal platform for all kinds of sensors. In this paper, an overview of optical sensors based on WGM microresonators is comprehensively summarized. First, the fundamental sensing mechanisms as well as several recently developed enhanced sensing techniques are introduced. Then, different types of WGM structures for sensing as well as microfluidics techniques are summarized. Furthermore, several important sensing parameters are discussed. Most importantly, a variety of WGM sensing applications are reviewed, including both traditional matter sensing and field sensing. Last, we give a brief summary and perspective of the WGM sensors and their role in future applications.
