Article Abstract
Optical microresonators supporting whispering-gallery modes (WGMs) have become a versatile platform for achieving electromagnetically induced transparency-like (EIT-like) phenomena. We theoretically and experimentally demonstrated the tunable coupled-mode induced transparency based on the surface nanoscale axial photonics (SNAP) microresonator. Single-EIT-like and double-EIT-like (DEIT-like) effects with one or more transparent windows are achieved due to dense mode families and tunable resonant frequencies. The experimental results can be well-fitted by the coupled mode theory. An automatically adjustable EIT-like effect is discovered by immersing the sensing region of the SNAP microresonator into an aqueous environment. The sharp lineshape and high slope of the transparent window allow us to achieve a liquid refractive index sensitivity of 2058.8 pm/RIU. Furthermore, we investigated a displacement sensing phenomenon by monitoring changes in the slope of the transparent window. We believe that the above results pave the way for multi-channel all-optical switching devices, multi-channel optical communications, and biochemical sensing processing.

Propagation of whispering gallery modes in surface nanoscale axial photonics (SNAP) microresonators, fabricated at the optical fiber surface, is commonly described by a one-dimensional wave equation, resembling the Schrödinger equation, where the fiber cutoff frequency (CF), varying along the fiber length plays the role of potential and the light frequency plays the role of energy. Of particular importance for applications including frequency comb generation, frequency conversion, and signal processing are SNAP microresonators with constant free spectrum range (FSR). Here, we note that, in addition to CF potentials with a globally constant FSR, the potentials having constant FSR confined within a specific spectral region may be sufficient or, in certain cases, preferable for a range of applications.

However, fabrication errors arising from fluctuations of temperature, inscription parameters, alignment inconsistencies, and other factors did not allow researchers to achieve the subangstrom precision without sophisticated post-processing. Here, we show that the key fabrication method of SNAP structures-CO laser beam optical fiber annealing-suffers from significant fiber displacements, which may introduce a few percent fabrication errors.

The SNAP microresonator is fabricated by fiber bending to introduce nanoscale effective radius variations (ERVs) on the fiber surface. Displacement measurement based on the balloon-shaped SNAP microresonator is realized based on the ERV modulation resulting from the change in the bending radius of the balloon-shaped structure.
