Optical instability and self-pulsing in silicon nitride whispering gallery resonators.
We report time domain observations of optical instability in high Q silicon nitride whispering gallery disk resonators. At low laser power the transmitted optical power through the disk looks chaotic. At higher power, the optical output settles into a stable self-pulsing regime with periodicity ranging from hundreds of milliseconds to hundreds of seconds. This phenomenon is explained by the int...
متن کاملOn optical forces in spherical whispering gallery mode resonators.
In this paper we discuss the force exerted by the field of an optical cavity on a polarizable dipole. We show that the modification of the cavity modes due to interaction with the dipole significantly alters the properties of the force. In particular, all components of the force are found to be non-conservative, and cannot, therefore, be derived from a potential energy. We also suggest a simple...
متن کاملOptical rogue waves in whispering-gallery-mode resonators
We report a theoretical study showing that rogue waves can emerge in whispering-gallery-mode resonators as the result of the chaotic interplay between Kerr nonlinearity and anomalous group-velocity dispersion. The nonlinear dynamics of the propagation of light in a whispering-gallery-mode resonator is investigated using the Lugiato-Lefever equation, and we give evidence of a range of parameters...
متن کاملOptical manipulation of microparticles using whispering-gallery modes in a silicon nitride microdisk resonator.
We demonstrate optical manipulation of 1 μm sized polystyrene microparticles on silicon nitride microdisk resonator devices using whispering-gallery modes in an integrated optofluidic chip. We demonstrate multiple trapping tracks and extended trapping ranges within single wavelengths through exciting high-order modes. We observe various sets of trapping tracks and ranges through exciting variou...
متن کاملCharacterization of Optical Microcavity Whispering-gallery-mode Resonators
In the past decade, optical microcavity whispering-gallery mode (WGM) resonators have received increasing attention for applications in optical communications and nanotechnology. In this paper, the theory for describing radiation transfer and heat transfer in the micro/nanoscale devices is presented first. Then the characteristics of waveguide-microdisk coupling WGM miniature resonators are num...
