Abstract

Recently introduced surface nanoscale axial photonics (SNAP) makes it possible to fabricate high- $Q$ -factor microresonators and other photonic microdevices by dramatically small deformation of the optical fiber surface. To become a practical and robust technology, the SNAP platform requires methods enabling reproducible modification of the optical fiber radius at nanoscale. In this Letter, we demonstrate superaccurate fabrication of high- $Q$ -factor microresonators by nanoscale modification of the optical fiber radius and refractive index using ${CO}_{2}$ laser and UV excimer laser beam exposures. The achieved fabrication accuracy is better than $2 Å$ in variation of the effective fiber radius.
