We present the direct measurement and modeling of the sensitivity limit of an integrated refractive index sensor for the detection of molecular monolayers. Direct UV writing can be used to fabricate a wide range of integrated optical devices particularly Bragg gratings. These Bragg gratings are inherently sensitive to temperature and strain.
