Abstract

This study uses the Taguchi method to optimize the quality factor (Q-factor) of microring resonators (MRRs) for sensor applications. The MRRs are compact optical components widely used in biosensors and environmental monitoring due to their sensitivity to refractive index changes. The Q-factor, a key performance metric for MRRs, is significantly influenced by structural parameters such as ring radius (R), gap (g), waveguide width (W), and waveguide height (h). We employed a finite difference time domain (FDTD) simulation to model light propagation within the MRR and compute the corresponding Q-factor to identify the optimal combination of these parameters. An L9 orthogonal array (OA) is used in the Taguchi method to analyze each factor's influence with three levels systematically. The optimization resulted in a Q-factor of 6208.44, significantly higher than the baseline value, indicating a substantial improvement. Compared to previous works, this research highlights the advantages of combining FDTD-based electromagnetic modeling with statistical optimization, offering a structured yet efficient approach to MRR design. The proposed method enhances Q-factor performance and provides scalability for practical applications in biomedical and environmental sensing. These findings underscore the utility of Taguchi-based design in advancing the field of photonic sensor optimization.

Abstract

Microactuators play a vital role in several microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) that generate forces or deflections necessary to accomplish functions such as scanning, tuning, manipulation, or delivery. Utilizing a ferrite magnetic core has shown the potential to enhance the deflection of the microactuator. However, the previous study presented a complex fabrication method with high power consumption unsuitable for micropump application. Herewith, we report the impact of ferrite core length on the deflection generated by a microactuator with a simple fabrication method. The deflection behavior shows that the corresponding magnetic core length is inverse to the deflection improvement. The force reduction generated led by a longer magnetic core because of the farther distance to the coil. Our study can be used as a reference to support the development of micropump or active micromixer devices, which require compact devices with simple fabrication and high deflection, achieving ultra-high flow rate and high mixing index.
