Super FSR tunable optical microbubble resonator
arXiv:1004.2405 · doi:10.1364/OL.35.001866
Abstract
An optical resonator is often called fully tunable if its tunable range exceeds the spectral interval that contains the resonances at all the characteristic modes of this resonator. For the high Q-factor spheroidal and toroidal microresonators, this interval coincides with the azimuthal free spectral range. In this Letter, we demonstrate the first mechanically fully tunable spheroidal microresonator created of a silica microbubble having a 100 micron order radius and a micron order wall thickness. The tunable bandwidth of this resonator is more than two times greater than its azimuthal free spectral range.
