Abstract
With suggested applications varying fiom microlaser and cavity QED through optical locking of diode lasers to modulators and sensors [l-3], high-Q silica microspheres with whqering-gallery (WG) modes so far remain the subject of tabletop feasibility demonstrations. Despite the uniquely high quality-factor and submillimeter dimensions suitable for tight packaging, this novel type of high-finesse cavity still has to be adapted to fiber- and integrated-optic hardware.
