AbstractMicrolasers, relying on the strong coupling between active particles and optical microcavity, exhibit fundamental differences from conventional lasers, such as multi-threshold/thresholdless behavior and nonclassical photon emission. As light sources, microlasers possess extensive applications in precision measurement, quantum information processing, and biochemical sensing. Here we propose a whispering-gallery-mode microlaser scheme, where ultracold alkaline-earth metal atoms, i.e., gain medium, are tightly confined in a two-color evanescent lattice that is in the ring shape and formed around a microsphere. To suppress the influence of the lattice-induced ac Stark shift on the moderately-narrow-linewidth laser transition, the red-detuned trapping beams operate at a magic wavelength while the wavelength of the blue-detuned trapping beam is set close to the other magic wavelength. The tiny mode volume and high quality factor of the microsphere ensure the strong atom-microcavity coupling in the bad-cavity regime. As a result, both saturation photon and critical atom numbers, which characterize the laser performance, are substantially reduced below unity. We explore the lasing action of the coupled system by using the Monte Carlo approach. Our scheme may be potentially generalized to the microlasers based on the forbidden clock transitions, holding the prospect for microscale active optical clocks in precision measurement and frequency metrology.

In this work, the thermo-optic effect in polymers was used to realize a temperature-tunable whispering-gallery-mode laser. The laser was fabricated using a capillary tube filled with a light-emitting conjugated polymer solution via the capillary effect. In the whispering-gallery-mode laser emission wavelength can be continuously tuned to about 19.5 nm using thermo-optic effect of polymer. The influence of different organic solvents on the tuning rate was studied. For a typical lasing mode with a bandwidth of 0.08 nm, a temperature-resolved tuning rate of ~1.55 nm/°C was obtained. The two-ring coupling effect is responsible for the suppression of the WGM in the micro-cavity laser. The proposed laser exhibited good reversibility and repeatability as well as a sensitive response to temperature, which could be applied to the design of photothermic and sensing devices.
