Developing the nonlinear effects in chalcogenide microresonators

For the sensing application and investigating the nonlinear effects, microresonator structures are very suitable due to their enormous quality factor and small mode volume. These properties can be extended into the mid-infrared region by creating microresonators from chalcogenide glasses, which have large third-order optical nonlinearity. We present the analysis of the nonlinear effects observation in chalcogenide microspheres.
