Abstract

A new mirroring resonators (MRR) based on 6x6 
multimode interference (MMI) couplers for multichannel and highly sensitive chemical and biological sensors is proposed in this paper. The proposed sensor structure has advantages of 
compactness, high sensitivity compared with the reported sensing structures. By using the transfer matrix method (TMM) and numerical simulations, the designs of the sensor based on silicon nanowires are optimized and demonstrated in detail.
