We designed a new type of gas sensor, an optical tentacle, made of highly integrated polymer micro-ring resonators in three-dimensional space on the tiny end-facet of a multicore optical fiber. Two pairs of three polymer micro-ring resonators were hung symmetrically on both sides of three suspended micro-waveguides as the sensing units. The micro-waveguides interlace to form a three-layer nested configuration, which makes the multicore optical fiber a "tentacle" for vapors of volatile organic compounds. Both experiments and theoretical simulation confirmed that the symmetrical coupling of multiple pairs of rings with the micro-waveguide had better resonance than the single ring setup. This is because the symmetrical light modes in the waveguides couple with the rings separately. All the optical micro-components were fabricated by the two-photon lithography technology on the end facet of multicore optical fiber. The optical tentacle shows good sensitivity and reversibility. This approach can also be adopted for sensor array design on a chip. Furthermore, optical sensors that can sense vapors with multiple constituents may be achieved in the future by adding selective sensitive materials to or on the surface of the rings.
