Abstract

Thermal effects need to be accurately measured and/or controlled to generate continuous kinetic binding curves with whispering gallery mode (WGM) microcavity sensors. We use a high spatial resolution optical frequency domain reflectometry system at 780 nm to capture the Rayleigh backscattering signal within a microtoroid optical resonator for temperature calibration. It is shown that this system has a temperature detection accuracy of 30 mK. This technique characterizes thermal effects in the microcavity and the surrounding environment, thus enabling lower limits of detection to be achieved.
