A tunable, all-optical, coupling method has been realized for a high-textit{Q} silica microsphere and an optical waveguide. By means of a novel optical nanopositioning method, induced thermal expansion of an asymmetric microsphere stem for laser powers up to 171~mW has been observed and used to fine tune the microsphere-waveguide coupling. Microcavity displacements ranging from (0.612~$pm$~0.13) -- (1.5 $pm$ 0.13) $mu$m and nanometer scale sensitivities varying from (2.81 $pm$ 0.08) -- (7.39 $pm$ 0.17) nm/mW, with an apparent linear dependency of coupling distance on stem laser heating, were obtained. Using this method, the coupling was altered such that different coupling regimes could be explored for particular samples. This tunable coupling method, in principle, could be incorporated into lab-on-a-chip microresonator systems, photonic molecule systems, and other nanopositioning frameworks.

Quantitative measurements of the vibrational eigenmodes in ultra-high-Q silica microspheres are reported. The modes are efficiently excited via radiation-pressure induced dynamical back-action of light confined in the optical whispering-gallery modes
of the microspheres (i.e. via the parametric oscillation instability). Two families of modes are studied and their frequency dependence on sphere size investigated. The measured frequencies are in good agreement both with Lambs theory and numerical finite element simulation and are found to be proportional to the spheres inverse diameter.
We demonstrated the tuning of whispering gallery modes (WGMs) of a silica microsphere during optical levitation through the annealing process. We determined the annealing temperature from the power balance between the CO2 laser light heating and seve
ral cooling processes. Cooling caused by heat conduction through the surrounding air molecules is the dominant process. We achieved a blue shift of the WGMs as large as 1 %, which was observed in the white-light scattering spectrum from the levitated microsphere.
We report on the experimental observation of coherent cavity soliton frequency combs in silica microspheres. Specifically, we demonstrate that careful alignment of the microsphere relative to the coupling fiber taper allows for the suppression of hig
her-order spatial modes, reducing mode interactions and enabling soliton formation. Our measurements show that the temporal cavity solitons have sub-100-fs durations, exhibit considerable Raman self-frequency shift, and generally come in groups of three or four, occasionally with equidistant spacing in the time domain. RF amplitude noise measurements and spectral interferometry confirm the high coherence of the observed soliton frequency combs, and numerical simulations show good agreement with experiments.
Normal mode splitting is observed in a cavity QED system, in which nitrogen vacancy centers in diamond nanocrystals are coupled to whispering gallery modes in a silica microsphere. The composite nanocrystal-microsphere system takes advantage of the e
xceptional spin properties of nitrogen vacancy centers as well as the ultra high quality factor of silica microspheres. The observation of the normal mode splitting indicates that the dipole optical interaction between the relevant nitrogen vacancy center and whispering gallery mode has reached the strong coupling regime of cavity QED.
An effective harmonic potential for photons is achieved in a photonic crystal structure, owing to the balance of the background dispersion and a bichromatic potential. Consequently, ultra-compact resonators with several equi-spaced resonances and hig
h loaded Q factors (0.7 million) are demonstrated. A detailed statistical analysis is carried out by exploiting the complex reflection spectra measured with Optical Coherent Tomography. The log-normal distribution of the intrinsic Q-factors peaks at 3 million. The device is made of $Ga_{0.5}In_{0.5}P$ in order to suppress the two photon absorption in the Telecom spectral range considered here. This is crucial to turn the strong localization of light into ultra-efficient parametric interactions.
