In recent years, low cost, the demand of highly sensitive miniature transducer constantly increase, especially in biochemical preparation and The substances context of detection such as toxic gas.It addresses that need, industry and academia have proposed and made many types Sensor, wherein optical sensor is concerned in numerous type sensors with its minimum size and high sensitivity. Many optical phenomenas such as, absorption, fluorescence, radiation and refraction etc. and many optical medium structures, such as optical fiber, photonic crystal, micro- Annular resonant cavity, surface plasma and grating etc. are all used to open up novel sensor mechanism to obtain preferable sensing effect. Optical sensor based on micro-ring resonant cavity has size small, high sensitivity and it is compatible with CMOS technology be easily integrated etc. it is excellent Point is widely used in optical sensing field, when optical waveguide effective refractive index changes with target substance, micro-resonant cavity Resonance wavelength is drifted about, thus by test this wave length shift can measure target substance concentration variation (document 1, Mario,La.Notte,Benedetto Troia,Tommaso Muciaccia,Calo Edoardo Campanella, Francesco De Leonardis and Vittoro M.N.Passaro,“Recent advances in gas and chemical detection by vernier effect-based photonic sensors”,Sensors,V.14(3), 4831-4855 (2014), i.e. Mario, La.Notte, Benedetto Troia, Tommaso Muciaccia, Calo Edoardo Campanella, Francesco De Leonardis and Vittoro M.N.Passaro " is imitated based on vernier Progress of the optical sensor answered in gas and chemical probing ", sensor, V.14 (3), 4831-4855 (2014)).So And the optical sensor based on micro-ring resonant cavity remains some the shortcomings that limiting its further development and application.For base In the optical sensor of micro-ring resonant cavity, high sensitivity needs a sharp resonance spectrum, and detection limit depends on micro-loop The Q factor of resonant cavity.This requires the transmission loss of device is low, to improve the requirement to device making technics.Subsequent section The personnel of grinding propose the optical sensor based on cursor effect, to obtain high sensitivity and low detection limit.In fact, Raising based on cursor effect sensitivity is derived solely from the reading method of vernier graduation, and physics intrinsic sensitivity does not obtain A bit raising.Dai etc. proposes a kind of micro-ring resonant cavity that coupling is related to based on Mach-increasing Deccan, by measuring resonant wavelength Movement, about 10 can be detected with higher sensitivity-6~10-5Effective refractive index variation.But in measurement variations in refractive index Value is 10-6When, wavelength amount of movement is only 0.35pm, needs detection system of a high price (patent 1, ZL 200810060460.8).In patent (patent 1, ZL 200810060460.8), it was also proposed that measured in a certain fixed wave length The method of transimission power measures the variation of refractive index, but the frequency spectrum actually generated due to method promise (Fano) effect is wide, There are problems in practice, for example its measurement range is limited, the measurement linearity is very poor.Therefore, high detection accuracy is being kept Under the premise of, it is necessary to new sensor mechanism is explored so that the detection cost of system is effectively reduced, such as is replaced originally with strength investigation Wavelength measurement.
Summary of the invention
It is required when holding high sensitivity in order to overcome existing self-interference type micro-resonant cavity photo-sensor detection method very high The frequency positioning of precision, the higher deficiency of cost of testing system, the present invention provide one kind under the premise of keeping high sensitivity The height based on self-interference type micro-resonant cavity photo-sensor for avoiding requiring very high-precision frequency positioning, reducing cost of testing system Sensitivity strength investigation method.
The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the technical problems is:
A kind of highly sensitive strength investigation method based on self-interference type micro-resonant cavity photo-sensor, realizes the micro- of the detection Resonant cavity photo-sensor includes an input waveguide, a micro-ring resonant cavity, an output waveguide and an optical detection arm waveguide, Input waveguide and output waveguide are coupled with micro-ring resonant cavity respectively, are placed in the two sides of micro-ring resonant cavity, and one end of input waveguide is The light source incoming end of entire optical sensor;The other end of input waveguide and light are visited at the coupling of input waveguide and micro-ring resonant cavity The input terminal of test arm waveguide is connected;The output end of optical detection arm waveguide and output at the coupling of output waveguide and micro-ring resonant cavity One end of waveguide is connected, and the other end of output waveguide is transducing signal exit end;Out radio-frequency spectrum possess led with unicast be coupled to it is micro- The similar frequency spectrum of annular resonant cavity, the transmission spectrum are the frequency spectrums for transmitting valley and having periodic distribution;
Detection method are as follows: measured matter is covered on to the upper surface of optical detection arm waveguide, light enters from one end of input waveguide It penetrates, is coupled with micro-ring resonant cavity, then a part is coupled into micro-ring resonant cavity;The other end of the another part from input waveguide It is emitted and passes through optical detection arm and enter output waveguide, a part of light is due to the coupling between output waveguide and micro-resonant cavity in this part Cooperation is used, and is again coupled into micro-resonant cavity, and a part of light being coupled out in a part of light and micro-ring resonant cavity in this part It is emitted after interference from the output waveguide other end;High sensitivity can be realized in variation by testing resonance wave strong point intensity transmission Sensing.
Further, when measured matter refractive index changes, the optical path length of optical detection arm waveguide changes, not only Resonance wavelength at transmission valley is drifted about, and the intensity for transmitting valley changes.
Technical concept of the invention are as follows: when optical detection arm waveguide length meets 0.75 times equal to micro-ring resonator length When, the radio-frequency spectrum that goes out of the self-interference type micro-ring resonant cavity possesses to lead with unicast and is coupled to the similar frequency spectrum of micro-ring resonant cavity, the biography Defeated spectrum is the frequency spectrum for transmitting valley and having periodic distribution.In the corresponding resonance wavelength of transmission valley, not only with the micro-ring resonant The physical length of chamber is related, and long with the physics of the coefficient of coup and optical detection arm of input and output waveguide and micro-ring resonant cavity It spends related.Equally, the size also coefficient of coup and optical detection with input and output waveguide and micro-ring resonant cavity of valley is transmitted The physical length of arm is related.Therefore, when measured matter refractive index changes, the optical path length of optical detection arm waveguide becomes Change, not only transmits the resonance wavelength at valley and drift about, but also the intensity for transmitting valley changes.By testing resonance wave Highly sensitive sensing can be realized in the variation of strong point intensity transmission.
Beneficial effects of the present invention are mainly manifested in: so that the sensor is under the premise of keeping high detectivity, It is only necessary to one high-precision ionization meter can be realized with the laser of frequency sweep, avoid sensors with auxiliary electrode in measurement frequency Very high-precision frequency positioning is needed when rate is mobile, greatly reduces the cost of test macro.
