Development of Optical Sensors Based on Spherical Microparticles

本研究方案的目的是开发基于球形介电粒子的共振特性的微型传感器，以检测气相和液态的各种化学和物理性质。这些微型传感器利用共振幅度、宽度和光谱位置对折射率、吸收系数和球形微谐振器大小的极其敏感的依赖关系。作为第一步，将开发温度、湿度和汞蒸气传感器。

The aim of this research proposal is to develop microsensors to based on resonant properties of spherical dielectric particles to sense a variety of chemical and physical properties of gas and liquid phases. These microsensors make use of extremely sensitive dependence of resonant amplitudes, widths, and spectral positions on the index of refraction, the aborption coefficient and the size of a spherical microresonator. As a first step the temperature, humidity and mercury vapor sensors will be developed.
