Titanium enhanced Raman microcavity laser

Abstract: Due to their long photon lifetimes, ultra high quality factor (Q) silica microcavities form an ideal platform for microlaser development. Previous work verified that these devices exhibit Raman lasing, because the high Q compensates for the low Raman gain of silica. However, only devices with Q>1E8 are able to achieve microwatt thresholds, limiting the application space. One approach for overcoming this barrier is to increase the inherent Raman gain of the material without degrading the optical performance of … Show more

“…The doping concentrations used here were determined in previous works [26,27] and represent a balance between achieving the maximum increase in Raman gain and in refractive index with the minimum increase in optical loss. An additional consideration is the ability of the sol-gel matrix to support large concentrations of dopants without cracking, which will decrease the Q.…”

“…The film thicknesses are constant (∼400 nm) in all samples. The refractive indices of the coating (ncoating) increase from 1.454 for undoped coating to 1.520 for the 10 mol% of either Zr or Ti-doped coating [26,27].…”

“…Optical microcavity [1], [2], [3] is widely studied for its high quality factor and small mode volume. Recently, the study of microcavity non-linearity including kerr nonlinearity [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], Raman nonlinearity [11], [12], [13], optomechanically induced nonlinearity [14], [15], [16], [17], [18], [19], [20], [21], optomagnonics microcavity [22], [23], [24], [25], [26] become hot points. Combine the nonlinearity and high quality factor of the optical microcavity, various low threshold nonlinear phenomenons such as chaos [27], [28], [29], [30], [31], [32], [33] and frequency comb [34], [35], [36], [37] in the optical microcavity [38], [39] can be observed.…”
