Bio-Chemical Sensor Based on Square Ring and Circular Ring Photonic Crystal Ring Resonator

In this paper we have presented two photonic crystal ring resonator structures for application as a bio-chemical sensor. One is based on square ring and the other is based on circular ring. The refractive index of square ring and circular ring situated in the center of these structures has been varied according to the refractive index of the materials which has to be sensed. The resonant output peaks of both the square ring and circular ring structure are compared and it has been tried to determine which type of structure among the two is more suitable to be taken for use as a bio-chemical sensor. Simulation is done by applying finite-difference time domain (FDTD) and planar wave expansion (PWE) method.
