Title :
Conical and bottle microresonators in an optical fiber with angstrom-scale radius variation
Author_Institution :
OFS Labs., Somerset, NJ, USA
Abstract :
Angstrom-scale radius variation of an optical fiber enables fully confined discrete whispering gallery states evanescently excited by a transverse microfiber. This is experimentally demonstrated for a bottle microresonator containing a single localized axial state.
