In-situ tuning of whispering gallery modes of levitated silica microspheres

Yosuke Minowa, Yusuke Toyota, Masaaki Ashida

We demonstrated the tuning of whispering gallery modes (WGMs) of a silica microsphere during optical levitation through the annealing process. We determined the annealing temperatu…
