High-resolution spectroscopy of whispering gallery modes in large dielectric spheres

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The mode spectrum of a 3.8-cm-diameter fused-silica sphere has been studied in the vicinity of 1.06 μm. 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.
