This letter demonstrates morphology dependent shape resonance (MDSR) with the help of an encaved optical nano-antenna developed inside an optical fiber tip cavity. The nano-antenna generates a tightly focused beam with a spot-size of ~3 µm. A barium titanate microsphere is placed besides the optical axis inside the cavity. The focused beam remains off-axis of the microresonator and excites the MDSR. The off-axis excitation shows unique resonating properties depending on the location of the resonator. A resonant peak with quality factor as high as Q ∼7 × 10⁴ is achieved experimentally. Another design with a shorter cavity length for a bigger resonator is also demonstrated by embedding a bigger microsphere on the cleaved fiber tip surface. The optical probe holds great potential for photonic devices and is ideal for studying morphology-based scattering problems.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
