Design of rare-earth-doped microbottle lasers
Coupling strength in taper-coupled microbottle resonators can be tuned by offsetting the taper along the resonator profile, similar to controlling the air-gap in microsphere excitation, and hence, achieve desired coupling characteristics for a specific mode. Such flexibility makes microbottles attractive and adaptable laser cavities. In this paper, lasing characteristics of Yb3+-doped microbottle laser (MBL) coupled to tapered fiber are theoretically investigated. It is demonstrated that desired lasing characteristics for a particular mode are achievable by controlling the taper-resonator coupling, intrinsic quality factor (Q) and dopant concentration. Although, high Q whispering gallery cavities provide high internal powers, which is favorable especially for low gain materials, they lack high output powers. Hence, care should be taken in designing MBLs to attain the highest possible output power. Here, we address such issues, and optimized the required resonator parameters (for both pump and signal) for a low threshold pump power, high efficiency and desired lasing wavelength.

Abstract
Coupling strength in taper-coupled microbottle resonators can be tuned by offsetting the taper along the resonator profile, similar to controlling the air-gap in microsphere excitation, and hence, achieve desired coupling characteristics for a specific mode. Such flexibility makes microbottles attractive and adaptable laser cavities. In this paper, lasing characteristics of Yb3+-doped microbottle laser (MBL) coupled to tapered fiber are theoretically investigated. It is demonstrated that desired lasing characteristics for a particular mode are achievable by controlling the taper-resonator coupling, intrinsic quality factor (Q) and dopant concentration. Although, high Q whispering gallery cavities provide high internal powers, which is favorable especially for low gain materials, they lack high output powers. Hence, care should be taken in designing MBLs to attain the highest possible output power. Here, we address such issues, and optimized the required resonator parameters (for both pump and signal) for a low threshold pump power, high efficiency and desired lasing wavelength.
