Abstract
Silicon ring resonators have emerged as a very promising technology in the field of medical diagnostics, with many applications for the highly sensitive detection of analytes associated with pathological conditions. In our work, we report on the design, fabrication, and preliminary characterization of miniaturized silicon-on-insulator integrated optical ring resonators, showcasing their capability to detect biomarkers with high sensitivity. The results contribute to the advancement of silicon-based optical biosensors and lay the basis for future developments in the field of medical diagnostics.
