Abstract

In this paper we report the performance optimization of an integrated optofluidic ring resonator based on liquid core hybrid Antiresonant Reflecting Optical Waveguide (h-ARROW). Each optical element of the proposed ring has been simulated to find the optimized optical configuration which accomplishes single mode operation and reduced attenuation losses. We show that with an accurate design of the ring, quality factor up to 1.4 × 104 can be obtained.
