摘要
En 中文
Because of their small mode volume and high Q-factors, optical microresonators are interesting for applications such as laser sources, active filters and all-optical switches. Especially interesting are tunable resonators, in which the resonance frequency tuning by size, shape, temperature or electric field can be achieved. Here we demonstrate electrically tunable, low-loss whispering-gallery-mode (WGM) resonators made of nematic liquid crystal droplets, embedded in a polymer matrix. The shift in resonant frequencies is achieved via electric field-induced structural distortion of the birefringent liquid crystal resonator medium. Nematic liquid crystal microresonators have a large tuning range of the order of 20 nm at 2.6 V mu m(-1) for a similar to 600 nm WGM in 17-mu m-diameter droplets and high Q-factors up to similar to 12,000 in 33-mu m-diameter droplets. The tunability is approximately two orders of magnitude larger than usually achieved in solid-state microresonators.
