Abstract
We demonstrate a toluene sensor based on the combination of integrated silicon photonics and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). An integrated silicon photonics approach was used to create an optically resonant microcavity for monitoring the position of a cantilever. The demonstrated integrated cantilever read-out technology has the potential to provide physically robust chemical or biological sensors with picometer resolution for real world applications.
