Optical Microcavity: Sensing down to Single Molecules and Atoms

Optical Microcavity: Sensing down to Single Molecules and Atoms

This review article discusses fundamentals of dielectric, low-loss, optical micro-resonator sensing, including figures of merit and a variety of microcavity designs, and future perspectives in microcavity-based optical sensing. Resonance frequency and quality (Q) factor are altered as a means of det...
