Three-Dimensional Beam Propagation Modeling of Nanostructured Whispering-Gallery Microcavities

Using a scalar 3-D beam propagation technique in a cylindrical coordinate system, we demonstrate that a nanohole bored in a whispering-gallery microcavity sensor with an inserted 25-nm-radius polystyrene particle can dually enhance the detection signal (by a factor of ~6) and maintain a quality fact...
