Abstract

We propose the biosensor chip using optical ring resonators. Although the detection of biomarkers for the diagnosis of diseases generally requires high sensitivity of the order of 10^-9 g/ml, the detection sensitivity of our device was of the order of 10^-7 g/ml. In this paper, we show that 10 or 100 times higher sensitivity than the previous biosensor is accomplished by the following three strategies; (1) using slot-type waveguides, (2) using silicon nitride (SiN) as the waveguide core, (3) improvement of measurement system.
