Silicon-on-insulator microring resonators have proven to be an excellent platform for label-free nanophotonic biosensors. The high index contrast of silicon-on-insulator allows for fabrication of micrometer-size sensors. However, it also limits the quality of the resonances by introducing an intrinsic mode-splitting. Backscattering of optical power at small waveguide variations lifts the degeneracy of the normal resonator modes. This severely deteriorates the quality of the output signal, which is of utmost importance to determine the performance of the microrings as a biosensor. We suggest an integrated interferometric approach to give access to the unsplit, high-quality normal modes of the microring resonator and experimentally show an improvement of the quality factor by a factor of 3.
