Controllable and selective single-mode lasing in polymer microbottle resonator

Opt Express. 2018 Aug 6;26(16):20183-20191. doi: 10.1364/OE.26.020183.

Abstract

We report a single-mode dye-doped polymer microbottle resonator (MBR) laser. The selective single-mode lasing from different order whispering gallery modes is achieved by precisely controlling the axial and radial coupling position between a tapered nanofiber and an MBR, respectively. The side-mode suppression ratio is above 20 dB. By doping different fluorescence dyes into the MBR, single-mode lasers at various colors are demonstrated.
