Tunable Narrow-Linewidth Ring Laser Based on the Polarization Conversion in a Tapered Fiber-Coupled Whispering Gallery Mode Resonator

Based on the polarization conversion in a tapered fiber-coupled whispering gallery mode (WGM) system, a simple-structured narrow linewidth band-pass filter was fabricated and a narrow linewidth ring laser was demonstrated. With a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) to further select the resonant mode, the rin...
