Single-nanoparticle sensing with a spinning resonator

Abstract

We propose to enhance the coherent optical sensing of a single nanoparticle by utilizing a spinning resonator. In the presence of a rotation-induced Sagnac frequency shift, the bidirectional mode splitting induced by the particle can be largely enhanced, resulting in a strongly modified spectrum of the optical transmission. This proposed result would provide a new way to further tune or enhance the sensitivity of a resonator-based single-particle sensor, also shedding new light on photonic engineering with coupled or nonlinear spinning resonators.
