A packaged whispering gallery resonator device based on an optical nanoantenna coupler
英文摘要：
In this work, we present the design and fabrication of a packaged whispering gallery mode (WGM) device based on an optical nanoantenna as the coupler and a glass microsphere as the resonator. The microspheres were fabricated from SiO$_2$ fiber or Er$^{3+}$-doped fiber, the latter creating a WGM laser with a threshold of 93 $μ$W at 1531 nm. The coupler-resonator WGM device is packaged in a glass capillary. The performance of the packaged microlaser is characterized, with lasing emission both excited in and collected from the WGM cavity via the nanoantenna. The packaged system provides isolation from environmental contamination, a small size, and unidirectional coupling while maintaining a high quality (Q-) factor ($\sim$10$^8$). It opens up new possibilities for practical applications of WGM microdevices in a variety of fields such as low threshold lasers, filters, and sensors.
