Abstract

In this paper, we have fabricated an optical cantilever with an integrated grating coupler. We have used an inexpensive and repeatable method for integrating the grating to the silicon cantilever with a microfabrication compatible process. The sensitivity of the method can be further increased by integrating the detection circuitry onto the cantilever substrate. We believe that this is a promising method for sensing applications which provide a simple yet sensitive measurement technique using microcantilevers.
