Optical resonances in tubular microcavities with subwavelength wall thicknesses

Abstract: Based on the Mie scattering theory, we study optical resonances with whispering gallery modes (WGMs) in tubular microcavities. Rigorous formulas are present to obtain resonant wavelengths and Q factors for the WGM resonances. It is found that the Q factors of microtubes can be dramatically increased by increasing the dielectric constants in tube walls. For common SiO/SiO2 based microtubes, Q factors can be improved by one order when the microtubes are coated with thin high-index HfO2 layers (n = 1.95, thicknes… Show more

“…When the wall thickness of microtubes is smaller than the wavelength range of interest, it is reasonable to neglect the structural imperfections in the microtubes such as lobes on the inside and outside rolling edge and possible defects. This approximation can serve as a good starting point for analytical investigation of optical properties of microtubes . The microtube can be treated as an N ‐layered cylindrical structure as shown in Figs.…”
