Abstract
We experimentally demonstrate controlled polarization-selective phenomena in a whispering gallery mode resonator. We observed efficient () polarization conversion of light in a silica microsphere coupled to a tapered optical fiber with proper optimization of the polarization of the propagating light. A simple model treating the microsphere as a ring resonator provides a good fit to the observed behavior.
