Description

This paper presents preliminary results obtained from research into the development of a microsphere fibre laser designed for use in a compact gas sensor system. In this paper the focus is on achieving the optimum coupling between the microsphere and the tapered fibre used and obtaining the potential ultra-low threshold of the laser system
