Acoustic detection based on optical technology has moved in the direction of high sensitivity and resolution. In this study, an optical waveguide acoustic sensor based on a ring resonator with the evanescent field is proposed. Grooves are introduced into the ring resonators as a direct sensitive structure to excite the evanescent field. A series of resonators with diverse grooves are fabricated for a comparative analysis of acoustic performance. The acoustic parameters of bandwidth, sensitivity, and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) vary with different grooves indicated by the Q-factor. The results show that the ring resonators with variable-sized grooves exhibit excellent capability of acoustics detection. A maximum frequency of 160 kHz and a high sensitivity of 60.075 mV/Pa is achieved, with the minimum detectable sound pressure being 131.34 µPa/Hz1/2. Furthermore, the resonators with high Q-factors represent a remarkable sound resolution reaching 0.2 Hz. This work is of great significance for optimizing acoustic sensors and broadening the application range.
