Spring 2013
This work develops a refractive-index sensor based on whispering gallery modes (WGMs) in glass microcapillaries. The capillary channel is coated with a layer of fluorescent silicon quantum dots (QDs), which provides a fluorescence source that also supports the WGMs. When different fluids are...

This thesis explores theoretical and experimental considerations for the design of refractometric sensors based on optical microcavities for sensing of gases and liquids as well as integrating sphere laser absorption spectroscopy for the detection of greenhouse gases. I discuss highly sensitive...
