Integrating microsphere resonator and ZnO nanorods coated glass for humidity sensing application
A humidity sensor is proposed by integrating a microsphere resonator onto ZnO nanorods coated glass surface. The glass substrate was coated with ZnO nanorods for 12 h using the hydrothermal method and the microsphere was set at a diameter of 234 mu m. The proposed sensor produced sensitivity of 0.07...

A humidity sensor is proposed by integrating a microsphere resonator onto ZnO nanorods coated glass surface.

The proposed sensor produced sensitivity of 0.0748 dBm/%RH and 0.0142 nm/ %RH when exposed to humidity level ranging from 35 %RH to 85 %RH. Standard deviation and resolution of the proposed sensor improve by a factor of 1.7 and 2.4 respectively as compared to the straight microfiber laid on the ZnO nanorods coated glass.
