High-Q modes in defected microcircular resonator confined by metal layer for unidirectional emission

Opt Express. 2013 Jan 28;21(2):2165-70. doi: 10.1364/OE.21.002165.

Abstract

Defected circular resonators laterally confined by a metal layer with a flat side as an emitting window are numerically investigated based on the boundary element method for realizing unidirectional emission microlasers. The results indicate that Fabry-Pérot (FP) modes become high Q confined modes in the defected circular resonator with a metallic layer. The mode coupling between the FP mode and chaotic-like mode can result in high Q confined mode for unidirectional emission with a narrow far field pattern.
