Journal ArticleDOI
Very low threshold whispering-gallery-mode microsphere laser.
Vahid Sandoghdar,François Treussart,Jean Hare,Valérie Lefèvre-Seguin,Jean-Michel Raimond,Serge Haroche +5 more
TL;DR: The realization of a whispering-gallery-mode laser based on neodymium-doped silica micro-spheres with potential as a permanent microlaser operating with a few active ions at liquid-helium temperature is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Very high-Q whispering-gallery mode resonances observed on fused silica microspheres
TL;DR: In this article, the whispering-gallery modes of 60 to 200 μm diameter microspheres obtained by fusing with a CO2 laser the end of a high-transmission silica fibre were studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Splitting of high-Q Mie modes induced by light backscattering in silica microspheres
David S. Weiss,Vahid Sandoghdar,Jean Hare,Valérie Lefèvre-Seguin,Jean-Michel Raimond,Serge Haroche +5 more
TL;DR: It is observed that very high-Q Mie resonances in silica microspheres are split into doublets, attributed to internal backscattering that couples the two degenerate whispering-gallery modes propagating in opposite directions along the sphere equator.
Journal ArticleDOI
Strain-tunable high-Q optical microsphere resonator
Vladimir S. Ilchenko,P.S Volikov,V.L. Velichansky,François Treussart,Valérie Lefèvre-Seguin,Jean-Michel Raimond,Serge Haroche +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate the tuning of high-Q optical whispering gallery modes in a fused silica microsphere by applying mechanical strain, and demonstrate the tunability of mode frequencies in this high Q solid-state microcavity expands its applicability in quantum optics and photonics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mapping whispering-gallery modes in microspheres with a near-field probe.
Jonathan Knight,Nicolas Dubreuil,Vahid Sandoghdar,Jean Hare,Valérie Lefèvre-Seguin,Jean-Michel Raimond,Serge Haroche +6 more
TL;DR: The use of a near-field probe is demonstrated to map the angular dependence of high-Q whispering-gallery modes in fused-silica microspheres to investigate the lifting of spherical degeneracy in the system.
