The paper is a review on modelling and experimental results regarding microsphere resonators. The applications of the whispering-gallery-modes (WGMs) resonances in conventional glass microspheres to perform chemical spectroscopy, biomedical sensing, low threshold lasing are recalled. The behaviour of silica microsphere coated via silica hafnia 70SiO2-30HfO2 and activated with 0.3% mol Er3+ for NIR...
A mid-IR amplifier constituted of a tapered chalcogenide fiber coupled to an Er3+-doped chalcogenide microsphere has been optimized via a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. The numerical model is based on the coupled mode theory and on the erbium rate equations, including the main transitions among the ion energy levels. The PSO has allowed the optimal choice of the microsphere and taper...
