Cavity Optofluidics: Raman Laser Made of a Fiber Coupled nano-Liter Droplet
Shai Maayani, Tal Carmon
We fabricate a fiber coupled ultrahigh-Q resonator from a μdroplet per se; and experimentally measure stimulated Raman emission showing itself at a 160μW threshold. We observe Rama…
Level-crossing and modal structure in microdroplet resonators
Sarah T. Attar, Vladimir Shuvayev, Lev Deych +2
We fabricate a liquid-core liquid-clad microcavity that is coupled to a standard tapered fiber, and then experimentally map the whispering-gallery modes of this droplet resonator.…
Ripplon Laser
Samuel Kaminski, Leopoldo L. Martin, Shai Maayani +1
Energy exchange between light and sound was first suggested by Brillouin in 1922. After Townes established the phonon maser theory, coherent generation of intense hypersonic waves…
Optical humidity sensor based on a liquid whispering-gallery mode resonator
Lucia Labrador-Paez, Kevin Soler-Carracedo, Miguel Hernandez-Rodriguez +3
We experimentally demonstrate the use of a novel liquid state, whispering-gallery-mode optical resonator as a highly sensitive humidity sensor. The optical resonator used consists…
Analysis of radiation-pressure induced mechanical oscillation of an optical microcavity
T. J. Kippenberg, H. Rokhsari, T. Carmon +2
The theoretical work of V.B. Braginsky predicted that radiation pressure can couple the mechanical, mirror-eigenmodes of a Fabry-Perot resonator to it's optical modes, leading to a…
