All-optical tuning of ultrahigh Q-factor microsphere resonators with graphite coating
It is crucial to achieve large-scale and fast WGM tuning using a low-cost and simple system while maintaining the ultrahigh Q-factor of the resonator for applications. We prepared an ultrahigh Q-factor microsphere resonator with graphite coating for all-optical tuning. Microspheres were manufactured using ordinary single-mode optical fibers via the arc discharge method and then coated with a layer of graphite on top. A control laser was introduced from the tail fiber of a microsphere and irradiated onto the coating on top of the microsphere. The graphite coating could quickly absorb the energy of the control laser and cause temperature changes in the microspheres, achieving all-optical tuning. When the power of the control laser was within the range of 10 mW, the responsivity of all-optical tuning was 96 pm/mW. This type of microsphere exhibits the advantages of a simple structure, easy manufacturing, low cost, and ultra-high Q-factor.
期刊介绍:
Science has many big remaining questions. To address them, we will need to work collaboratively and across disciplines. The goal of iScience is to help fuel that type of interdisciplinary thinking. iScience is a new open-access journal from Cell Press that provides a platform for original research in the life, physical, and earth sciences. The primary criterion for publication in iScience is a significant contribution to a relevant field combined with robust results and underlying methodology. The advances appearing in iScience include both fundamental and applied investigations across this interdisciplinary range of topic areas. To support transparency in scientific investigation, we are happy to consider replication studies and papers that describe negative results.
We know you want your work to be published quickly and to be widely visible within your community and beyond. With the strong international reputation of Cell Press behind it, publication in iScience will help your work garner the attention and recognition it merits. Like all Cell Press journals, iScience prioritizes rapid publication. Our editorial team pays special attention to high-quality author service and to efficient, clear-cut decisions based on the information available within the manuscript. iScience taps into the expertise across Cell Press journals and selected partners to inform our editorial decisions and help publish your science in a timely and seamless way.
