We present a study of an optofluidic biosensor. The sensor operates in a transmission mode wherein detection is based on a shift in the transmission spectrum caused by the contrast in refractive index between the carrier fluid and the target biomaterial. We study the behavior of the sensor using 2D full-wave electromagnetic analysis, and perform parametric studies of sensitivity as a function of key device parameters. Device optimization can be accomplished using the COMSOL RF Module, and parametric designs can be completed within a few minutes on a modern workstation.
