Abstract
This paper presents an algorithm for processing the transmission spectra of optical microcavities with whispering gallery modes for use as a nanoparticle detector. The algorithm is based on the broadening of the microresonator resonance curve by precipitation of nanoparticles on the microresonator surface. Experimental results on the detection of particles are compared with Langmuir adsorption theory. The contribution of the instability of the excitation radiation source caused by temperature drift of the resonant frequency to the measurement error is estimated.
