Abstract

The mode spectrum of a 3.8-cm-diameter fused-silica sphere has been studied in the vicinity of 1.06 microm. A single-frequency Nd:YAG laser was used to excite whispering gallery modes by means of evanescent wave coupling. The spectrum is in excellent agreement with predictions from Mie theory.
