Microtoroid resonators are one of the most sensitive biochemical sensors, capable of detecting single molecules. Light is most commonly coupled into these sensors using a fragile and vibration-sensitive tapered optical fiber, preventing translation to field-portable sensing. Scientists from the University of Arizona have achieved far-field coupling of light to ultra-high quality factor microtoroids using a single objective lens. This is the foundation of a fully on-chip multiplexed microtoroid sensing platform.
