The advantages of high-quality-factor whispering gallery mode microresonators can be applied to develop novel photonic devices for the mid-IR range. ZBLAN (glass based on heavy metal fluorides) is one of the most promising materials to be…
We describe a novel method for making microbottle-shaped lasers by using a CO$_2$ laser to melt Er:Yb glass onto silica microcapillaries or fibres. This is realised by the fact that the two glasses have different melting points. The CO$_2$…
