Abstract

We analyzed regular polygonal ring resonators based on multi-mode waveguide using finite-difference time-domain simulation. It consists of the regular polygonal ring waveguide, total internal reflection mirror, and MMI coupler. In general, multi-mode waveguide-based resonator is difficult to use as sensors because of poor output characteristics. By using the low reflectance of the higher-order mode compared to the fundamental mode in the TIR mirror, we designed a regular polygonal ring resonator that can be used as sensors even when a multi-mode waveguide is used instead of a single-mode waveguide. In fabrication, the multi-mode waveguide has a wider line width than the single-mode waveguide, which reduces the process cost and enables mass production. The width and height of the multi-mode waveguide are designed to be 2.5 μm and 2 μm, respectively using SU-8 polymer. The regular hexagon ring resonator shows the highest Q-factor of 1.03×10⁴ among the various regular polygonal ring resonators.
