Temperature independent tuning of whispering gallery modes in a cryogenic environment

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

A new tuning method for tuning whispering gallery modes (WGMs) in a cryogenic environment is presented. Within a home-made exchange gas cryostat the applicability of pressure tuning in microbubbles at liquid nitrogen (LN) temperature is shown. The general thermal shift and tuning behavior of borosilicate microbubbles is theoretically analyzed and compared to experimental data. We show that stress/strain tuning using compressed gas is widely unaffected by system temperature.
