Abstract
This paper reports the simultaneous sensing of temperature and magnetic fields using a novel microring resonator waveguide system coupled to a slab waveguide, analysed through the finite element method. The system consists of a slab waveguide coupled to two ring waveguides, where the cladding of one ring is infiltrated with magnetic fluid (MF) and the other with ethanol. The vertical displacement and ring radii are optimised to achieve weak optical coupling between the rings and ensure almost independent resonances. The system demonstrates a linear response to both temperature and magnetic field variations, with high sensitivities of and , respectively. Additionally, the device exhibits high-quality factors and figures of merit, making it highly suitable for compact, precise dual-sensing applications in environmental monitoring and space applications.
