Recent advances in environmental and clinical analysis using microring resonator–based sensors

ABSTRACT

Progress in the development of biosensors has dramatically improved analytical techniques. Biosensors have advantages over more conventional analytical techniques arising from attributes such as straightforward analyses, higher throughput, miniaturization, smaller sample input, and lower cost. Microring optical resonators have emerged in the area of optical sensors as an exceptional choice because of their sensitivity, ease of fabrication, multiplexity capability, and label-free detection. In this article, the sensing principle of these sensors is described. In addition, we summarize and highlight their most recent and relevant applications in environmental and clinical detection analysis.
