Abstract:
We demonstrated, for the first time, micro-ring resonator assisted photothermal spectroscopy measurement of a gas phase sample. The experiment used a telecoms wavelength probe laser that was coupled to a silicon nitride photonic integrated circuit using a fibre array. We excited the photothermal effect in the water vapor above the micro-ring using a 1395 nm diode laser. We measured the 1f and 2f wavelength modulation response versus excitation laser wavelength and verified the power scaling behaviour of the signal.
