Figures & Tables

Fig. 1. (a) Diagram of the experimental setup; (b) comparison between photoluminescence (PL) spectrum excited by a continuous wave laser at 20 mW/cm2 and the amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) excited by a 10 ns pulsed laser at 96.5 μJ/pulse of 5 mg/mL ethanol solution of rhodamine 6G (Rh6G). Inset is the molecular structure of Rh6G.

Left inset: sample configuration; the bare fiber rests on the cuvette wall vertically by capillary force. Right inset: emission spectrum excited at 3.7 μJ/pulse. TE, transverse electric; TM, transverse magnetic. (b) Integrated intensity of the emission as a function of excitation pulse energy, indicating a threshold behavior.

Fig. 5. (a) WGM spectra at various excitation intensities from a fiber in a 5 mg/mL Rh6G ethanol solution. Sample configuration was schematically shown in the left inset, with a bare fiber being coated with PMMA (∼thickness of 1 μm) at both ends. Right inset: typical emission spectrum of one WGM mode with FWHM of 0.1 nm; (b) integrated intensity of the emission as a function of excitation pulse energy, indicating a threshold behavior.

Fig. 6. WGM spectra of a fiber in 5 mg/mL Rh6G solution of mixed ethanol and ethylene glycol with different ratios. The pump energy is ∼10 μJ/pulse; in this configuration, the fiber sticks to the cuvette wall. The corresponding refractive indexes are marked at each spectrum. The single-mode emission spectra, which are circled, are also zoomed to show the lack of spectral shift (left inset). Right inset is the WGM emission from a bare fiber in MEH-PPV/THF solution using the same configuration.
