Fig. 5.1 Four mirror ring cavity model. Left, microcavity and tapered fiber in contact. Light can couple from the fiber into the resonator and back into the fiber. Right, the four mirror ring cavity equivalent. The top mirror is partially transmitting all others have 100% reflectivity. Reprinted from Ref. 3 with permission. 2008 Optical Society of America...

Fig. 5.2 Hemispherical prism coupling scheme. The microsphere is in a V groove channel for the solvent and analyte. Left, polar view showing input and output coupling. Right, equatorial view illustrating how precessed light is collected at the drop port. Reprinted from Ref. 3 with permission 2008 Optical Society of America...

Fig. 5.3 Experimental setup. Light from a frequency scanned cw diode laser is launched into a bitapered fiber to excite WGMs of the microresonator. The microresonator is held in a PZT fixture for tuning and locking purposes inset). Reprinted from Ref. 4 with permission. 2008 Optical Society of America...

Fig. 6.5 RI sensitivity as a function of the OFRR wall thickness for the first three WGMs. The polymer thickness is fixed at 1 pm. Other parameters are the same as in Fig. 6.4. Reprinted from Ref. 29 with permission. 2008 Optical Society of America...

Fig. 6.6 (a) k2 as a function of polymer thickness for the first three WGMs. Dashed line indicates the k2 position for the first order ring resonator wall mode in the absence of the polymer layer. The simulation parameters are the same as in Fig. 6.4, except that the polymer RI, n2, is 1.7. (b) The WGM radial distribution of the second order mode for various polymer thicknesses indicated by the arrows in (a). Vertical lines indicate the boundaries of the ring resonator wall and the polymer layer. Reprinted from Ref. 29 with permission. 2008 Optical Society of America... 

Fig. 6.9 OERR response to various part per million (ppm) concentrations of ethanol and hexane vapors. The OERR is coated with a 200 nm thick OV 17 (a) and PEG 400 (b).

Fig. 7.19 Spectra of a weak LPG pair, separated by 30 cm, with bending in the middle (thicker curve, no peaks) and without bending (peaked curve). Each grating has 400 pm periodicity and a 20 mm length. The fringe spacing is roughly 0.72 nm. Reprinted from Ref. 25 with permission. 2008 Optical Society of America...
