How to Simulate the Whispering-Gallery-Modes of Dielectric Microresonators in FEMLAB/COMSOL
نویسنده
چکیده
It is explained how FEMLAB / COMSOL Multiphysics can be configured to calculate, the frequencies, electromagneticfield patterns, mode volumes, filling factors, radiation losses ... of the whispering-gallery modes of axisymmetric microresonators. The method exploits COMSOL’s ability to accept the definition of solutions to Maxwells equations in so-called ‘weak form’. As no transverse approximation is imposed, it remains accurate even for so-called quasi-TM and -TE modes of low, finite azimuthal mode order, as are relevant to applications in non-linear/quantum optics. The method’s utility is exemplified by simulating various microresonators in the form of dielectric toroids and disks.

We demonstrate theoretically that plane wave propagating in free space can be used to excite the whispering gallery mode in dielectric microresonators grown on the top of nanoplasmonic structures, with the assistance of surface plasmon wave. We have demonstrated the coupling modes using both localized and propagating surface plasmon-supporting nanostructure surfaces.

We review recent advances in the application of dielectric whispering-gallery (WG) resonators in optics and photonics, tracing the growth of the technology from the experiments with freely flying spherical droplets of transparent liquids to integrated on-chip microresonators. Both passive (such as filters) and active (such as lasers) whispering-gallery-mode (WGM)-based devices are discussed. Pr...

An exact solution for the problem of interaction between whispering gallery modes of spherical microresonators and a single dipole is presented. It is predicted that experimentally observed spectral doublets associated with this interaction are a part of a triplet whose third component has yet to be observed. It is also shown that the interaction between the dipole and nonresonant whispering ga...

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...
