Directional Whispering Gallery Mode in Microring Lasers Enabled by Tilted Azimuthal Gratings by Jinghan Chen, Adrian Abazi, Frederik van Schoonhoven, Yuji Oki, Yohei Yamamoto, Carsten Schuck, Hiroaki Yoshioka

“…Whispering gallery mode (WGM) microcavities, which have been extensively studied for their ultrahigh Q factors and small mode volumes, are exceptional platforms for achieving ultralow‐threshold microlasers and functional resonators. However, the rotational symmetry of these structures traps light inside, resulting in an isotropic output and limiting their use in photonics. …”
