Abstract

In this article, the modeling of a photonic crystal-based ring resonator is proposed for the detection of the various impurities in the water sample. The model exhibits a high-Quality factor (Q) of 980 and a sensitivity of 232 nm/RIU while detecting different types of impurities. The design parameters are optimized through the Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method for sensing the impurities in the water samples based on their refractive indices. The performance of the device is investigated further to explore the possibility of highly selective label-free sensing for lab-on-chip applications.
