摘要
We demonstrate a low-threshold microsphere laser on a silicon chip, fabricated from erbium-doped silica sol-gel film. Single-longitudinal mode lasing emission is observed from a 37 mu m diameter microsphere cavity with an erbium ion concentration of 2 x 10(19) cm(-3). The measured lasing threshold of the silica microsphere laser is as low as 4.8 mu W.
