摘要：

We report the fabrication and characterization of a lead-silicate glass microsphere resonator. We show that at the wavelengths near 1555 nm high Q modes can be efficiently excited from a 109 mu m diameter lead-silicate glass microsphere via evanescent coupling using a tapered silica fiber with a waist diameter of 2 mu m. Resonances with Q-factors as high as 0.9 x 10(7) were observed. This is very close to the theoretical material-limited Q-factor and is the highest Q-factor reported so far from a nonlinear glass microsphere. (C) 2011 American Institute of Physics.
