Problems solved by technology

[0003] In the Raman laser sensing technology that excites the whispering gallery mode of the optical microcavity through the evanescent wave of the fiber cone, there are three main technical problems that cannot be avoided: first, in order to ensure the coupling efficiency between the fiber cone and the optical microcavity, The distance between the two needs to be strictly controlled, and the nanoscale size of the fiber cone makes it extremely susceptible to the influence of the surrounding environment, such as air flow, temperature changes, etc., which changes the coupling conditions between the fiber cone and the optical microcavity. The output signal (Raman beat frequency) reduces the signal-to-noise ratio, and even leads to misinterpretation of the nanoscale particle information; secondly, the hundred-nanometer-sized fiber cone is easy to break, which increases the difficulty of technical operation; finally, due to the whispering gallery mode The production of fiber optic cones increases the difficulty of applying this technology to the integrated chip process

Background technique [0002] Existing optical microcavity Raman laser sensing technology excites whispering gallery modes by coupling evanescent waves into optical microcavities through fiber cones, such as figure 1 As shown in the figure, the Raman laser is excited by the whispering gallery mode.

The optical fiber cone is drawn from ordinary optical fiber. First, the protective layer of the ordinary optical fiber is removed and transferred to a movable platform. The optical fiber is melted by a hydrogen-oxygen flame, and then a fiber cone with a diameter of 100 nanome...
