چکیده
The mode spectrum of a 3.8-cm-diameter fused-silica sphere has been studied in the vicinity of 1.06 microm. A single-frequency Nd:YAG laser was used to excite whispering gallery modes by means of evanescent wave coupling. The spectrum is in excellent agreement with predictions from Mie theory.

Comparative studies on the quality factors of whispering gallery modes and hybrid plasmon photon modes.
We theoretically and experimentally investigate the multipolar hybrid plasmon-photon modes supported by a dielectric-metal core-shell resonator consisting of a dielectric core wrapped by a thin silver shell and the whispering-gallery modes in its pure dielectric counterpart (the dielectric sphere with the same size). We theoretically demonstrate that in a certain wavelength range the achievable...
متن کاملUltra-Sensitive Optical Biosensor Based on Whispering Gallery Modes: The Effect of Buffer Solutions Refractive Index on Their Sensitivity and Performance
Background: Whispering gallery modes (WGM) biosensors are ultrasensitive systems that can measure amount of adsorbed layer onto the micro-cavity surface. They have many applications including protein, peptide growth, DNA and bacteria detection, molecular properties measurements and specific interaction and drug table recognitions due to their high sensitivity, compact size and label free sensin...
متن کاملWhispering gallery modes and other cavity modes for perfect backscattering and blazing.
We demonstrate the possibility to obtain perfect blazing both in Littrow and off-Littrow mountings using diffractive systems consisting of a plane metallic substrate and dielectric structures that can support cavity modes. The resonances are located at a relatively large distance between the metal and the dielectric structure, a condition that prevents the resonance increase of absorption. The ...
متن کاملLight emission from whispering-gallery modes in microscopic spheres.
The emission of light from whispering-gallery modes excited in microscopic spheres is examined. An evanescent wave is produced by total internal reflection of an optical beam at a planar glass-air interface. This evanescent wave is used to excite whispering-gallery modes in single microscopic spheres placed behind the glass-air interface. The intensity of light emitted into the air half-space f...
متن کاملChaotic Light: a Theory of Asymmetric Resonant Cavities Jens U. Nöckel and A. Douglas Stone
Spherical and cylindrical dielectric cavities support high Q whispering gallery modes due to total internal reflection of the trapped light. When such a cavity is deformed smoothly the ray dynamics of these modes becomes chaotic in a manner determined by the KAM theory of classical hamiltonian dynamics. The universal properties of the ray dynamics predicted by KAM theory allow a general underst...
