Critically coupled Fabry–Perot cavity with high signal contrast for refractive index sensing

Abstract Perfect absorption at a resonance wavelength and extremely low absorption at the wavelength range of off-resonance in a one-port optical cavity is required for refractive index (RI) sensing with high signal contrast. Here, we propose and analyze an absorption-enhanced Fabry–Perot (MAFP) cav...
