A two dimensional photonic crystal biosensor implemented by waveguides and microcavity is theoretically investigated. The designed structure has high quality factor about 15,000 and sensitivity approximately 141.67 nm/RIU, which are important parameters in biosensing applications. Also there is a linear dependency between resonant wavelength shift and refractive index changes. Since water is the main component of human organism, the temperature and wavelength dependence of proposed microcavity is investigated. The results show that the structure has good temperature stability. The temperature sensitivity is about -0.0142 nm/degrees C.
