The sensor sensitivity has been determined by power difference at the output ports. The sensor enhancement has been optimized by numerically evaluating the geometrical parameters of the MZ! and RR. A great sensor sensitivity depicted by Fano resonance characteristic has been demonstrated as a function of the round trip phase in the range of 4×10^-4 - 4×10^-4, which was changed by the presence of the sample solution in the sensing area. This optimum sensitivity has been obtained for the values of two coupling coefficients of the MZI k1 =k2 =0.5/mm and the coupling coefficient between the MZI arm and RR KR = 0.5/ram. Furthermore, a good profile of sensitivity exchange has been exhibited by inducing the direct current voltage to the coupling region of k R. Finally, the output power transmission of the ring-coupled arm was depicted as a function of tunable k R.展开更多
