Whispering Gallery Mode Resonator Temperature Compensation and Refractive Index Sensing in Glucose Droplets

Among the different types of photonic sensor devices, optical whispering gallery mode resonators (WGMRs) have attracted interest due to their high level of sensitivity, small size, and ability to perform real-time temperature measurements. Here we demonstrate the applicability of temperature measure...
