摘要
A tunable, all-optical, coupling method is realised for a high-Q silica microsphere and an optical waveguide. By means of a novel optical nanopositioning method, induced thermal expansion of an asymmetric microsphere stem for laser powers up to 211 mW is observed and used to fine tune the microsphere-waveginde coupling. Microcavity displacements ranging from (0.61 +/- 0.13) - (3.49 +/- 0.13) ym and nanometer scale sensitivities varying from (2.81 +/- 0.08) - (17.08 +/- 0.76) tina/mW, With an apparent linear dependency of coupling distance on stein laser heating, arc obtained. Using this method, the coupling is altered such that the different coupling regimes are achieved. (C) 2017 Optical Society of America
