Mode spectrum and emission pattern of whispering gallery mode disk resonators — •Gerhard Schunk, Michael Förtsch, Josef Fürst, Dmitry Strekalov, Florian Sedlmeir, Harald Schwefel, Gerd Leuchs, and Christoph Marquardt — Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light, Institute for Optics, Information and Photonics, University Erlangen-Nuremberg, Erlangen, Germany

The concept of circulating waves in convex-shaped materials enables whispering gallery mode resonators to be both outstanding systems for fundamental research and a promising photonic technology. Here we report on a technique to identify eigenmodes of large whispering gallery disk resonators by extending initial studies of [1,2]. This is equivalent to exactly assigning radial, polar, and azimuthal mode numbers q,l, and m to whispering gallery modes by combining spatial and spectral measurements of the outcoupled modes. The fit also reproduces the experimental changes of the frequency differences of WGMs under a change of the resonator temperature by 25C, which demonstrates one way for tailoring the eigenspectrum of whispering gallery mode resonators.
