Abstract
In this work a refractometric air pressure sensing platform timed on spherical whispering-gallery mode microresonators is presented and analyzed. The sensitivity of this sensing approach is characterized by measuring the whispering-gallery mode spectral shifts caused by a change of air refractive index produced by dynamic sinusoidal pressure variations that lie between extremes of +/- 1.81 kPa. A theoretical frame of work is developed to characterize the refractometric air pressure sensing platform by using the Ciddor equation for the refractive index of air, and a comparison is made against experimental results for the purpose of performance evaluation.
