Abstract
In-fiber whispering gallery mode resonators have demonstrated significant potential in addressing the low integration, transferability, and tuning stability of whispering gallery microcavities. However, designing highly sensitive and high-resolution in-fiber whispering gallery mode resonators for sensing remains a major challenge. Here, we report an in-fiber three-cavity coupling concept, enabling strong field-driven interactions to result in the splitting of energy level, unprecedented quality factor enhancement and a good Fano line shape that can improve the detection sensitivity considerably. Leveraging three-cavity mutual coupling, an unprecedented in-fiber quality factor of 1.11 × 105 and an extraordinary Fano line shape of 119 dB/nm is achieved. Such a combination of three-cavity and fiber may provide ideas for improving the performance of in-fiber whispering gallery mode resonators, leading to the creation of next-generation optical sensors.
