In this work, we report a single-mode Ho 3+/Yb 3+ codoped fluorotellurite (HYCF)
microsphere laser at∼ 2.1 μm with low threshold of 96.2 μW. Fluorotellurite glass …

Abstract We used a Tm 3+-Ho 3+ co-doped tellurite glass as the laser medium to build active
microsphere laser resonators. A droplet method is implemented and hundreds of high …

Use of resonant light forces opens up a unique approach to high‐volume sorting of
microspherical resonators with much higher uniformity of resonances compared to that in …

Scalable fabrication of spherical particles at both the micro‐and nanoscales is of significant
importance for applications spanning optical devices, electronics, targeted drug delivery …
