Abstract

Ultrahigh repetition rate lasers will become vital light sources for many technologies; however, they are difficult to realize because the cavity must be miniaturized. A mode-locked laser with whispering-gallery-mode (WGM) microresonators would provide a cost-effective on-chip solution that would allow us to demonstrate ultra-high repetition rate lasers. However, the required parameters, such as the cavity size, dispersion, minimum gain, and amount of saturable absorption (SA) loss, are unknown; we need to establish a clear guideline if we wish to discuss experimental feasibility and achieve mode locking (ML). Here, we report on a numerical investigation that clarified the optimum design parameters to achieve passive ML with a toroidal WGM microlaser.
