Gas Sensing Using a Resilient Polymer Photonic Crystal Nanocavity with Ultra-High Quality Factor

We present a high-sensitivity, multi-use optical gas sensor based on a one-dimensional polymer photonic crystal cavity. With an experimental Q exceeding 13100, we predict detection levels on the parts-per-billion range for a variety of gases.
