    Area of Science:

    • Photonics and Optical Engineering
    • Materials Science and Nanotechnology

    Background:

    • Surface nanoscale axial photonics (SNAP) microresonators are fabricated using nanoscale effective radius variation (ERV) with high precision.
    • These microresonators have potential applications in classical and quantum signal processing, frequency comb generation, and optical sensing.
    • Current fabrication methods achieve limited ERV contrast (α), hindering advanced applications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a novel fabrication method for SNAP microresonators with significantly enhanced ERV contrast.
    • To demonstrate a substantial improvement over existing SNAP fabrication techniques.
    • To enable the creation of more compact and higher-performance SNAP devices.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a femtosecond laser for fabricating SNAP microresonators.
    • Introduced nanoscale effective radius variation (ERV) with subangstrom precision.
    • Achieved a large ERV contrast (α) defined as the shift of fiber cutoff wavelength per unit length.

    Main Results:

    • Demonstrated a new femtosecond laser-based fabrication method for SNAP microresonators.
    • Achieved a 50-fold improvement in ERV contrast (α), reaching approximately 1 nm/μm.
    • Enabled larger ERV than previously possible, reducing the axial scale of SNAP structures by an order of magnitude.
    • Fabricated and investigated a rectangular SNAP resonator, with experimental results aligning with theoretical simulations.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed femtosecond laser fabrication method significantly advances SNAP microresonator technology.
    • The enhanced ERV contrast opens new possibilities for miniaturized optical signal processors and sensors.
    • This approach paves the way for next-generation photonic devices with reduced footprints and improved performance.
