Compact, fiber-compatible, cascaded Raman laser

Abstract

Cascaded Raman Stokes lasing in an ultrahigh-$Q$ silica microsphere resonator coupled to a tapered fiber is demonstrated and analyzed. With less than $900 \mathit{\mu }\mathrm{W}$ of pump power near 980 nm, five cascaded Stokes lasing lines are generated. In addition, a threshold power of $56.4 \mathit{\mu }\mathrm{W}$ for the first-order Stokes lasing is achieved. The Stokes lasing lines exhibit distinct characteristics depending on their order, as predicted by theoretical analysis.
