Three-Dimensional Beam Propagation Modeling of Nanostructured Whispering-Gallery Microcavities

Using a scalar 3-D beam propagation technique in a cylindrical coordinate system, we demonstrate that a nanohole bored in a whispering-gallery microcavity sensor with an inserted 25-nm-radius polystyrene particle can dually enhance the detection signal (by a factor of <inline-formula> <tex-...

description Using a scalar 3-D beam propagation technique in a cylindrical coordinate system, we demonstrate that a nanohole bored in a whispering-gallery microcavity sensor with an inserted 25-nm-radius polystyrene particle can dually enhance the detection signal (by a factor of <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\sim$</tex-math></inline-formula>6) and maintain a quality factor of <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$7.6 \times {10^{8}}$</tex-math></inline-formula> (after degradation by a factor as little as 3) at a wavelength of 633 nm. Detailed numerical characterization of the resonant light circulating in this nanostructured cavity is provided, including aspects of stability and convergence.
