Abstract

We present the optical characterization of an all-dielectric photonic crystal (PC)-based guided resonance filter sensitive to index-of-refraction changes in aqueous solutions. Spectral peak width was found to be 9.8 and 4.4 nm around 816 nm (water media), corresponding to a quality factor Q of 83 and 181, respectively. A spectral shift of peak wavelength with index change of 130 nm/RIU was observed for bulk fluid experiments. Measured peak shift (&Dgr;&lgr;=0.2nm) corresponds to a detectable index change &Dgr;n=1.5×10-3.
