Abstract

The whispering gallery mode resonator based on a fluoride crystalline material offers the advantage of an ultrahigh quality factor, however, its fast tuning remains a challenge. We propose a tuning method for a CaF2 crystalline resonator using external pressure loading. Through our theoretical calculations and simulations, we discovered that the frequency shift induced by deformation during the pressure tuning of the crystalline resonator is greater than that induced by changes in refractive index. Both shifts were of the same order of magnitude, indicating that both factors must be considered. The experimental results show tuning rates of 1114.6 and 888.2 MHz/MPa in the transverse electric and transverse magnetic modes, respectively. The tuning system can respond to a signal frequency of up to 1.2 MHz.
