摘要
Microfiber coil resonators (MCRs) with quality factors as high as similar to 470 000 and small size (< 2 mm(3)) were fabricated and characterized. Both simulated and experimental results showed that the average full-width at half-maximum of the resonant dips decreased with the number of rings, providing a proof of the dependence of increasing quality factor upon the number of rings, even when the gaps among adjacent rings were not strictly uniform. Compared to the previous reports, a multi-ring MCR can thus offer a new choice of obtaining a microfiber resonator with high quality factor.
