Abstract For the measurement of micron-sized components, there are many methods widely used, such as by using CMM, and the size of the probe sphere of CMM is essential for measuring. In order to accurately measure the size of the probe sphere, a method by using Whispering Gallery Mode (WGM) resonance has been proposed. To measure the diameter of the microsphere with this method, the resonance wavelength and the angular mode number of WGM need to be known. The resonance wavelength can be measured by a wavelength meter and the angular mode number can be obtained by using the near-field optical fiber probe to measure the electric field intensity distribution on the surface of the microsphere. The detecting sensitivity of probe on electric field intensity is quite important for angular mode number measuring, which is deeply related to the accuracy of microsphere diameter measurement. In the process of electric field intensity detecting, the sensitivity of the probe can be affected by its shape. Therefore, the effect of probe tip shape on measurement was studied to optimize it. In this study, the effect of probe tip diameter, angle and shape on the measuring of electric field intensity on microsphere surface was investigated.

Whispering gallery resonators made out of lithium niobate allow for optical parametric oscillation and frequency comb generation employing the outstanding second-order nonlinear-optical properties of this material. An important knob to tune and control these processes is, e.g., the linear electro-optic effect, the Pockels effect via externally applied electric fields. Due to the shape of the resonators a precise prediction of the electric field strength that affects the optical mode is non-trivial. Here, we study the average strength of the electric field in z-direction in the region of the optical mode for different configurations and geometries of lithium niobate whispering gallery resonators with the help of the finite element method. We find that in some configurations almost 100% is present in the cavity compared to the ideal case of a cylindrical resonator. Even in the case of a few-mode resonator with a very thin rim we find a strength of 90%. Our results give useful design considerations for future arrangements that may benefit from the strong electro-optic effect in bulk whispering gallery resonators made out of lithium niobate.
