<p>A system of coupling optical energy in a waveguide mode, into a resonator that operates in a whispering gallery mode. A first part of the operation uses a fiber (100) in its waveguide mode to couple information into a resonator e.g. a microsphere (120). The fiber (100) is cleaved at an angle Ζ (14) which causes total internal reflection within the fiber (100). The energy in the fiber (100) then forms an evanescent field and a microsphere (120) is placed in the area of the evanescent field. If the microsphere resonance (120) is resonant with energy in the fiber (100) then the information in the fiber (100) is effectively transferred to the microsphere (120).</p> |
