Interfacing whispering-gallery microresonators and free space light with cavity enhanced Rayleigh scattering
Jiangang Zhu, Sahin Kaya Ozdemir, Huzeyfe Yilmaz +5
Whispering gallery mode resonators (WGMRs) take advantage of strong light confinement and long photon lifetime for applications in sensing, optomechanics, microlasers and quantum o…
Finite element simulation of a perturbed axial-symmetric whispering-gallery mode and its use for intensity enhancement with a nanoparticle coupled to a microtoroid
Alex Kaplan, Matthew Tomes, Tal Carmon +4
We present an optical mode solver for a whispering gallery resonator coupled to an adjacent arbitrary shaped nano-particle that breaks the axial symmetry of the resonator. Such a h…
Cavity optomechanics on a microfluidic resonator with water and viscous liquids
Kyu Hyun Kim, Gaurav Bahl, Wonsuk Lee +4
Currently, optical- or mechanical-resonances are commonly used in microfluidic research. However, optomechanical oscillations by light pressure were not shown with liquids. This is…
Continuous-wave Cascaded-Harmonic Generation and Multi-Photon Raman Lasing in Lithium Niobate Whispering-Gallery Resonators
Jeremy Moore, Matthew Tomes, Tal Carmon +1
We report experimental demonstration of continuous-wave cascaded-harmonic generation and Raman lasing in a millimeter-scale lithium niobate whispering-gallery resonator pumped at a…
Observation of Spontaneous Brillouin Cooling
Gaurav Bahl, Matthew Tomes, Florian Marquardt +1
While radiation-pressure cooling is well known, the Brillouin scattering of light from sound is considered an acousto-optical amplification-only process. It was suggested that cool…
Brillouin Cooling
Matthew Tomes, Florian Marquardt, Gaurav Bahl +1
We analyze how to exploit Brillouin scattering for the purpose of cooling opto-mechanical devices and present a quantum-mechanical theory for Brillouin cooling. Our analysis shows…
