| Title | High Q for High Sensitivity: Assembling and Testing a Ring Resonator Biosensor |
| Summary | Dive deeper into biosensing by optimizing both the Q-factor of a ring resonator and its functionalization process. You’will work with a higher-order (or slightly narrower) ring resonator structure that exhibits sharper resonances, potentially boosting sensitivity. After functionalizing its surface to capture specific analytes (like a model protein), you will flow a solution over the chip and measure shifts in the resonance wavelength in real-time. The challenge here lies in achieving high Q while ensuring practical fluidic integration and stable coupling. This experiment bridges optical design, materials science, and practical lab testing. |
