Abstract
We describethe development of high quality(Q)factor photonic crystal resonators(PCRs)integrated with microfluidic systems to formthe basis ofhighly sensitive liquid sensing platformsforthe terahertz band.The strong confinement of the terahertz fieldincombinationwith the high Q-factor provided bythe PCR allows the measurement of thedielectric properties of sub-nanoliter liquid volumes. We demonstrate the utility of thisapproach by measuring the complex permittivity of several bio-liquids at 100 GHz.
