32. We used the following equation to estimate the absorption loss of the CNB: 2p /(. Qabs) = 2p/. (1/Qm-1/Qt) [33], where 2p /(. Qabs),., Qm and Qt are the absorption loss, resonant wavelength, measured and theoretical Q factor respectively. The effect of the fabrication imperfection is included in this estimated absorption loss.
