Nonlinear Whispering Gallery Modes
Physical Review Letters, 1999The stationary lasing of the modes in a microdisk is formulated as a nonlinear eigenvalue problem for a nonlinear Maxwell equation. It is shown that whispering gallery modes can be obtained as stationary lasing solutions with finite pumping thresholds.

Classification of whispering gallery modes for cladded systems
Optics & Laser Technology, 2023International audience ; A classification of whispering gallery modes has been proposed between three types : core modes, cladding modes and composed modes. While core modes or cladding modes are interesting to generate with a sensor purpose, composed modes propagate in both core and coating and therefore should be avoided. In this paper, a theoretical

Whispering Gallery Modes at THz
Advanced Optical Materials, 2019AbstractWhispering gallery modes (WGM) offer strong confinement of electromagnetic radiation to specific resonances supported by the geometry of the resonator. In fact, highest ever quality factors are reported in optical and near‐infrared WGMs along with their applications.

Whispering-gallery laser resonators. I. Diffraction of whispering-gallery modes
IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics, 1991Whispering-gallery optics for use at soft X-ray and extreme ultraviolet wavelengths are examined for their potential applications in laser resonators. An examination is made of beam divergence at the exit of a whispering gallery resonator. The properties of whispering-gallery eigenmodes are reviewed, and the features of their Fourier transforms ...

Nonlinear whispering-gallery modes in a microellipse cavity
Optics Letters, 2004We study theoretically the effect of deformed microelliptical cavities on lasing characteristics. We show that the transition of stationary lasing states from unidirectional rotational waves to a mixture of clockwise and anticlockwise rotational waves occurs when the shape of a disk is deformed to that of an ellipse.

Whispering gallery mode microresonators as polarization converters
Optics Letters, 2007A ring resonator coupled to a waveguide can be used as a highly efficient polarization converter when the input is properly polarized. We model this phenomenon and verify the predictions with a demonstration of very efficient polarization conversion (>90%) on a silica microsphere coupled to a tapered optical fiber.

Polymeric whispering gallery mode micro-resonators
2016 IEEE Photonics Conference (IPC), 2016We review fabrication and optics of polymeric high-Q whispering gallery mode resonators. They are employed as bio-sensors featuring selective parallel functionalization of arrays and integration into lab-on-a-chip systems. Liquid crystalline elastomers enable wide tunability of resonances.

Whispering Gallery Mode Biosensor
2010None of civilization’s socio-political catastrophes (e.g. world wars) have caused an equivalent destructive effect on the world’s population as biological pandemics [1]. Exponentially growing pathogens are difficult to contain and eliminate unless they can be detected early on.

Whispering gallery mode profiles in a coated microsphere
The European Physical Journal Special Topics, 2014The properties of whispering gallery modes (WGM) of a microsphere can be tailored by coating the resonator with a thin film. If the coating has a higher refractive index than the microsphere core, the resulting structure will have a configuration which has similarities both with a classical WGM resonator and with a planar waveguide.

Whispering gallery mode microresonators: Fundamentals and applications
La Rivista del Nuovo Cimento, 2011Confinement of light into small volumes has become an essential requirement for photonic devices; examples of this trend are provided by optical fibers, integrated optical circuits, semiconductor lasers, and photonic crystals. Optical dielectric resonators supporting Whispering Gallery Modes (WGMs) represent another class of cavity devices with ...
