Abstract

Silica micro-bubble resonators (MBRs) with cavity quality factor as high as Q = 5 × 10(7) are fabricated. The total dispersion of MBRs is analyzed. The thin-wall structure opens a new anomalous dispersion window and thus supports the dispersion compensation for hyper-parametric frequency conversion processes. Experimentally, Kerr parametric oscillation is observed in a 136 μm diameter MBR, frequency comb generation is also realized. Meanwhile the same nonlinear process is not allowed in solid silica spheres with size smaller than 150 μm.

摘要

制造出了腔品质因数高达Q = 5×10⁷的二氧化硅微泡谐振器（MBR）。分析了MBR的总色散。这种薄壁结构开启了一个新的反常色散窗口，从而为超参量频率转换过程提供色散补偿。实验上，在直径为136μm的MBR中观测到了克尔参量振荡，还实现了频率梳的产生。同时，尺寸小于150μm的实心二氧化硅球体中不允许出现同样的非线性过程。
