Abstract:
In this work, we present a novel method to reveal azimuthal
whispering gallery modes (WGMs) in a spherical microcavity coated with a
nano-meter thick polyelectrolyte shell and one monolayer of CdTe
semiconductor quantum dots. The new approach in this experiment is based
on the deformation of the spherical shape in a non-contact way using the
radiation pressure from a laser beam, which causes the lifting of the
degeneracy of the WGMs. The resonance peak linewidth and splitting
parameters can be efficiently controlled by the strength of the radiation
pressure and the elastic properties of the surface shell.
