Abstract
Sensitivities (S) and quality factors (Q) have been trade-offs in label-free optical resonator sensors, and optimal geometry that maximizes both factors is under active development. In this paper, we demonstrate that the nanoslotted parallel multibeam cavity possesses unexplored high S and high Q. We achieve S>800  nm/RIU (refractive index unit) and Q>107 in liquid at telecom wavelength range when absorption is neglected. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first geometry that features both high S and Q factors, and thus is potentially an ideal platform for refractive index-based biochemical sensing.
