Abstract
We have developed a sensing platform with WGM microlasers and a 2D-dispersion spectrometer. The 2D dispersion is provided by a diffraction grating element in x-axis and a virtual image phase array (VIPA) etalon in y-axis. With a spectral resolution of less than 0.4 pm, the 2D-dispersion spectrometer can detect slight changes of the lasing mode of the microlaser. To demonstrate, we used a polystyrene microsphere as the microlaser and detected the (1) change in refractive index and (2) change in absorption of the medium surrounding the microsphere.
