摘要
The fabrication and characterization of a bismuth-silicate glass microsphere resonator has been demonstrated. At wavelengths near 1550 nm, high-Q modes can be efficiently excited in a 179-mu m diameter bismuth-silicate glass microsphere via evanescent coupling using a tapered silica fiber with a waist diameter of circa 2 mu m. Resonances with Q-factors as high as 0.6 x 10(7) were observed. The dependence of the spectral response on variations in the input power level was studied in detail to gain an insight into power-dependent thermal resonance shifts. Because of their high nonlinearity and high-Q factors, bismuth-silicate glass microspheres offer the potential for robustly assembled fully integrated all-optical switching devices.
