Fig. 1From: Integrated end-to-end instrumentation for the study of whispering gallery modes in dynamic liquid micro-cavities coupled to sub-micron tapered fibersSchematic of experimental setup for fabrication of silica microspheres. L1 and L2: lenses, M: mirror, MS: silica fiber’s tip which has got re-formed into a microsphere, MIC: microscope with a CCD camera attached to it, and VLP: visible laser pointer used for optical alignment of CO2 laser beam. L1, L2 and MS are on XYZ mounts or stages for alignmentsBack to article page
