Influence of a sharp fiber tip on high-Q modes of a microsphere resonator

We investigate the degradation of the Q factor of a fundamental whispering-gallery mode of a microsphere resonator when a fiber tip is placed in the evanescent field of the mode. With a tip diameter of 80 nm it is possible to maintain a Q factor exceeding 10(8), even when the tip is as close as 10 nm to the sphere surface. This result demonstrates the possibility of using such a tip as a "nanotool" to actively place a single nanoparticle in a single high- Q mode with great precision to achieve well-controlled coupling.     

Optimization of prism coupling to high-Q modes in a microsphere resonator using a near-field probe

In this paper, we demonstrate a novel method for optimizing the in- and out-coupling of light confined in the fundamental high-Q whispering-gallery mode of a microsphere resonator via an external prism coupler. The technique relies on the use of a near-field probe to map the modes of the resonator and to obtain topographical information at the same time. We demonstrate the feasibility and efficiency of this technique by applying it to a sphere with a radius of 59 μm.

Design theory of high-Q optical ring resonator with asymmetric three-layered dielectrics

An optical ring resonator with asymmetric three-layered dielectrics is shown to have an anomalously highQ-factor compared with the conventional symmetric three-layered ring resonator by several orders of magnitude for suitably chosen parameters. A new leaky mode which can propagate on the asymmetric structure is found having an extremely small attenuation loss near the cut-off frequency of the guided mode, but which does not exist in the symmetric structure. Optimum values of the normalized frequency for a single-mode operation to suppress the undesired leaky modes are discussed. It is also shown that the size of the ring resonator using the asymmetric structure can be reduced considerably from that of the ordinary symmetric resonator.     

Virtual-photon-induced entanglement with two nitrogen-vacancy centers coupled to a high-Q silica microsphere cavity

We propose a potentially practical scheme for efcient generation of entanglement with two nitrogen-vacancy centers(NVC)coupled to a whispering-gallery mode cavity.By virtue of the virtual-photon-excitation,the entanglement with two separate NVC can be produced in a deterministic way.The required operations are very close to the capabilities of current experimental techniques.The efects of decoherence induced by the cavity decay and the atomic spontaneous decay are also investigated.     

Collective effects in the dynamics of driven atoms in a high-Q resonator

We study the quantum dynamics of N coherently driven two-level atoms coupled to an optical resonator. In the strong coupling regime the cavity field generated by atomic scattering interferes destructively with the pump on the atoms. This suppresses atomic excitation and even for strong driving fields prevents atomic saturation, while the stationary intracavity field amplitude is almost independent of the atom number. The magnitude of the interference effect depends on the detuning between laser and cavity field and on the relative atomic positions and is strongest for a wavelength spaced lattice of atoms placed at the antinodes of the cavity mode. In this case three dimensional intensity minima are created in the vicinity of each atom. In this regime spontaneous emission is suppressed and the dominant loss channel is cavity decay. Even for a cavity linewidth larger than the atomic natural width, one regains strong interference through the cooperative action of a sufficiently large number of atoms. These results give a new key to understand recent experiments on collective cavity cooling and may allow to implement fast tailored atom-atom interactions as well as nonperturbative particle detection with very small energy transfer.Received: 18 May 2004, Published online: 19 October 2004PACS: 32.80.Pj Optical cooling of atoms; trapping - 42.50.Pq Cavity quantum electrodynamics; micromasers - 42.50.Fx Cooperative phenomena in quantum optical systems

Nanolayer characterization through wavelength multiplexing of a microsphere resonator

We optically characterize nanolayer (<150 nm) formation in situ on a silica microsphere in an aqueous environment by simultaneously following the shifts of whispering-gallery modes at two wavelengths. This approach was inspired by layer perturbation theory, which indicates that these two measurements can be used to determine independently both the thickness and the optical dielectric constant. The theory is verified for extreme cases and used to characterize a biophysically relevant hydrogel nanolayer with an extremely small excess refractive index of 0.0012.

Pigtailing the high-Q microsphere cavity: a simple fiber coupler for optical whispering-gallery modes

We demonstrate a simple method for efficient coupling of standard single-mode optical fibers to a high- Q optical microsphere cavity. Phase-matched excitation of whispering-gallery modes is provided by an angle-polished fiber tip in which the core-guided wave undergoes total internal reflection. In the experimental setup, which included a microsphere with both an input and an output coupler, the total fiber-to-fiber transmission at resonance reached 23% (total insertion loss, 6.3 dB), with loaded quality factor Q>/=3x10(7) and unloaded Q approximately 1.2x10(8) at 1550 nm. A simple pigtailing method for microspheres permits their wider use in fiber optics and photonics devices.     

Directional escape from a high-Q deformed microsphere induced by short CO2 laser pulses

Nonaxisymmetric fused-silica microspheres were fabricated by using only one microsphere by virtue of short pulses of a CO2 laser. Highly directional emission from whispering-gallery modes (WGMs) was studied through direct free-space evanescent excitation. The observed quality factors of WGMs are high, up to 2x10(7), despite this deformation. We show that WGMs in slightly deformed microspheres possibly play an important role in cavity quantum electrodynamics research.     

Fiber laser using a microsphere resonator as a feedback element

We show that a glass microsphere resonator can be used as a wavelength-selective mirror in fiber lasers. Due to their high quality factor (Q approximately 10(8)), microsphere resonators possess a narrow reflection bandwidth. This feature enables construction of single-frequency fiber lasers even when the laser cavity is long. Nonlinear effects (such as stimulated Raman lasing) were also observed in our setup at relatively low pump powers.     

Active Q switching of a fiber laser with a microsphere resonator

We propose and demonstrate an active Q-switched fiber laser using a high-Q microsphere resonator as the Q-switching element. The laser cavity consists of an Er-doped fiber as the gain medium, a glass microsphere reflector (coupled through a fiber taper) at one end of the cavity, and a fiber Bragg grating reflector at the other end. The reflectivity of the microsphere is modulated by changing the gap between the microsphere and the fiber taper. Active Q switching is realized by oscillating the microsphere in and out of contact with the taper. Using this novel technique, we have obtained giant pulses (maximum peak power approximately 102 W, duration approximately 160 ns) at a low pump-power threshold (approximately 3 mW).

Parametric excitation of temperature oscillations in a high-Q dielectric microwave resonator in liquid helium vapor

We study the threshold conditions of the parametric excitation of temperature oscillations using pulsed microwave pumping in three-mode regime for high-Q ferroelectric cryogenic resonators made of SrTiO₃ and KTaO₃. Comparative analysis is performed for the threshold power of the excitation of temperature oscillations and the threshold power of the ponderomotive parametric excitation of acoustic oscillations in the resonator. It is shown that in three-mode regime, temperature oscillations can develop under a rather moderate pump power of about 0.1–8 μW, depending on the combination of interacting temperature and electromagnetic modes. The calculated low threshold powers allow one to apply resonators in practice as high-sensitivity infrared sensors, resonant bolometers, and parametric amplifiers.

Feasibility of using a free-electron maser with a Bragg resonator for testing high-Q resonant structures

The operation of a pulsed free-electron maser with a Bragg resonator and resonant termination is simulated in terms of nonstationary equations. It is shown that the termination partially loses its reflection properties and accumulates microwave energy when the eigenfrequency of the terminating resonator coincides with the frequency of the maser transition radiation. The difference between these frequencies produces considerable reflections and in the long run quenches masing. The masing stability depends on the lag of the reflected signal and channel losses.     

A wide-band Whispering Gallery Mode dielectric resonator having multiple high-Q cavities for high-field ESR spectroscopy

The behaviour of a disc-shaped dielectric resonator made of sintered alumina and working in the Whispering Gallery Mode (WGM) has been studied in the frequency interval from about 8 up to about 26 GHz. Many equidistant resonances have been detected in this frequency interval each of which being characterized by a satisfactoryQ-value due to the very good self-confinement of the microwave field which is typical of WGM propagation. Particular care has been devoted to the optimization of the coupling between the resonating disc and the microwave source. Examples of ESR spectra obtained on each of the detected resonances are reported which show the variation of the lineshape with the increase of the frequency. The obtained results allow one to foresee that the same dielectric disc can be used for ESR spectroscopy also at frequencies much higher than those up to now exploited.     

Microwave photonic filter with a continuously tunable central frequency using an SOI high-Q microdisk resonator

Utilizing a high-Q microdisk resonator(MDR) on a single silicon-on-insulator(SOI) chip, a compact microwave photonic filter(MPF) with a continuously tunable central frequency is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. Assisted by the optical single side-band(OSSB) modulation, the optical frequency response of the MDR is mapped to the microwave frequency response to form an MPF with a continuously tunable central frequency and a narrow 3-dB bandwidth. In the experiment, using an MDR with a compact size of 20×20 μm2and a high Q factor of 1.07×105, we obtain a compact MPF with a high rejection ratio of about 40 dB, a 3-dB bandwidth of about 2 GHz, and a frequency tuning range larger than12 GHz. Our approach may allow the implementation of very compact, low-cost, low-consumption, and integrated notch MPF in a silicon chip.
