Plasmon enhancement for Vernier coupled single-mode lasing from ZnO/Pt hybrid microcavities

It is essential to develop a single mode operation and improve the performance of lasing in order to ensure practical applicability of microlasers and nanolasers.In this paper,two hexagonal microteeth with varied nanoscaled air-gaps of a ZnO microcomb are used to construct coupled whispering-gallery cavities.This is done to achieve a stable single mode lasing based on Vernier effect without requiring any complicated or sophisticated manipulation to achieve positioning with nanoscale precision.Optical gain and the corresponding ultraviolet lasing performance were improved greatly through coupling with localized surface plasmons of Pt nanoparticles.The ZnO/Pt hybrid microcavities achieved a seven-fold enhancement of intensity of single mode lasing with higher sidemode suppression ratio and lower threshold.The mechanism that led to this enhancement has been described in detail.

Routes to various breather solitons in whispering-gallery-mode resonators through the variational method

In this paper, the dynamics of the optical field in the whispering-gallery-mode resonator described by the Lugiato–Lefever equation is studied by means of the variational method. For some special cases, exact explicit family of analytical breather-type solitons, such as time-periodic breather and space-time periodic breather are obtained. It is found that the pumping parameter, the detuning parameter and the dispersion coefficient, influences the nature of the optical field in the whispering-gallery-mode resonators.     

基于PDMS基片的回音壁模式光纤激光器

介绍了一种基于聚二甲基硅氧烷(PDMS)基片的回音壁模式(WGM)光纤激光器。激光器主要由多模石英光纤、塑料楔形光纤、激光染料溶液、玻璃基底和PDMS基片构成。将一根直径为279μm的石英裸光纤和一根直径为200μm的塑料楔形光纤耦合后固定在一块长和宽分别为2cm和1cm的玻璃基底上,在玻璃基底上浇注PDMS溶液后再经烘干形成厚度约为400μm的柔性PDMS基片。在基片上石英光纤与楔形光纤的耦合位置处刻出一个长为0.4cm,宽和高均为400μm的光纤沟道,在沟道中填入诺丹明6G的乙醇溶液并用另外一块玻璃基片封装后构成基于PDMS基片的回音壁模式光纤激光器芯片。采用沿石英光纤轴向消逝波光抽运方式,在PDMS芯片上实现了抽运能量为8.5μJ的低阈值的回音壁模式激光定向输出。
