Polymer micro-ring resonators (MRRs) have been proven to be one of the most versatile choices for ultrasonic detections, largely due to their high detection sensitivity over a wide frequency range, optical transparency, and at a significantly reduced form-factor. However, precisely controlling the resonance mode of individual MRRs became increasingly difficult due to the stringent requirements in their dimensional tolerance. Here we report a nanofabrication strategy to substantially improve the dimensional accuracy of the MRR to precisely control its resonance modes. We experimentally demonstrate polymer MRR in an array format, in enabling rapid and parallel ultrasound detection.
