Design guidelines for optical resonator biochemical sensors

In this paper, we propose a design tool for dielectric optical resonator-based biochemical refractometry sensors. Analogous to the widely accepted photodetector figure of merit, the detectivity D*, we introduce a new sensor system figure of merit, the time-normalized sensitivity S*, to permit quanti...
