Abstract

The potential of integrated optical microcavities for use in enhanced optical spectroscopy has been studied. These devices can sustain high morphological enhancement of optical field due to excitation of high-Q whispering gallery modes (WGM’s). Estimations performed show that a local field in a microcavity can be increased by 2-4 orders of magnitude. A gain of 103 ¸ 107 in detected Raman or fluorescent signal of a molecule put on top of the microcavity can be expected. We have fabricated high-Finesse integrated optics cylindrical microcavities that indeed provide fairly high enhancement of the optical field. The results obtained demonstrate feasibility of the microcavity-based device for optical spectroscopy.
