摘要:A theoretical study of free space coupling to high-Q whispering gallery modes both in
circular and deformed microcavities are presented. In the case of a circular cavity, both
analytical solutions and asymptotic formulas are derived. The coupling efficiencies at different
coupling regimes for cylinder incoming wave are discussed, and the maximum efficiency is
estimated for the practical Gaussian beam excitation. In the case of a deformed cavity, the
coupling efficiency can be higher if the excitation beam can match the intrinsic emission well
and the radiation loss can be tuned by adjusting the degree of deformation. Employing an
abstract model of slightly deformed cavity, we found that the asymmetric and peak like line
shapes instead of the Lorentz-shape dip are universal in transmission spectra due to
multi-mode interference, and the coupling efficiency can not be estimated from the absolute
depth of the dip. Our results provide guidelines for free space coupling in experiments,
suggesting that the high-Q ARCs can be efficiently excited through free space which will
stimulate further experiments and applications of WGMs based on free space coupling.

0 Introduction
Whispering gallery modes (WGMs) were first explained by Lord Rayleigh [1] in the case of
sound propagation in St Paul’s Cathedral circa in 1878. WGMs also exist in light waves which
are almost perfectly guided round by optical total internal reflection in low loss resonators [2].
High quality (Q) factor excessing 10

has been achieved. Combining the ultra-small mode
volume with the high-Q factor, the light-matter interaction can be greatly enhanced in WGM
microcavities. Therefore, optical WGMs are gaining growing attentions in a wide range of
fields including ultra-sensitive sensors [3], low threshold lasers [4], frequency combs [5], cavity
quantum electrodynamics (QED) [6], and quantum optomechanics [7, 8]. The WGMs also
affect the scattering on spherical particles [9], which was found to play an important role in
the glory phenomenon [10]. In the last twenty years, the high-Q optical WGMs have been
reported in various microcavities, such as liquid droplet [11], microsphere [12], microdisk [13],
microcylinder [14] and microtoroid [15].
The excitation and collection of the WGMs are essential issues in practical applications.
It is taken for granted that free space coupling to WGMs is very inefficient since the radi-
ation loss of circular shaped microcavity is isotropic and low, which brings the difficulty of
energy transference between outside and WGMs. Near field couplers, such as prism [16], fiber
taper[17, 18] and perpendicular waveguide [19], enable high efficient excitations and collections
to microresonators. Therefore, these near field couplers are widely adapted in experiments.
The underlying mechanism of coupling process between WGMs and couplers have been well
understood[20, 21, 22] and many phenomena in the spectrum are reported, such as the ana-

logue of electromagnetically induced transparent (EIT) [23, 24, 25], asymmetric Fano line shape
[19, 26, 27, 28] and ringing phenomena [29]. However, there are some limitations in the near field
couplers, such as large footprint, stabilization requirement, and power limit (high excitation
energy would cause strong nonlinear effects in fiber tapers).
On another hand, the asymmetric resonant cavities (ARCs) have been demonstrated to be
able to support high-Q WGMs and give highly directional emission [30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37,
38]. The underlying principle and interesting chaotic ray dynamics in such an open billiard have
been studied extensively [39, 40, 41, 42, 43]. Especially, the unidirectional emission cavities have
been successfully designed [44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 51, 49, 50], which enable high efficient collection
of high-Q WGMs through free space. As the reversal of emission, the focused beam in free
space can excite the WGMs, which have been studied in experiments [52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57].
However, the basic features and potentials of this free space beam coupling strategy are not
fully explored.
In this paper, we present a theoretical study on free space coupling to high-Q WGMs in
both circular and deformed microcavities. First of all, the cylinder waves incident to a circular
cavity is solved analytically and asymptotically in the cylinder coordinates, and the analytical
equations are well consistent with the standard input-output formulation. Then, we consider
the excitation of the circular cavity by Gaussian beam for practical applications, the maximal
efficiency of about 20% can be achieved under phase matching condition. After that, the
excitation of deformed cavity by Gaussian beam is studied by an abstract model of multimode
interaction. The result shows that the ARCs not only gives good matching parameters, but
also can balance radiation and non-radiation losses, which can be well adapted in experiments
for high efficient free space coupling. One interesting result is that the asymmetric spectra
is universal in the free space coupling as a result of multimo de interference, and the energy
transferring can not be deduced from the dip depth in the transmission spectrum.
1 Circular Cavity
1.1 Cylinder wave
We start with a two-dimensional circular shaped microcavity, where electromagnetic field
(ψ) can be solved in the cylinder coordinates (r, ϕ) analytically. Any electromagnetic field
can be decomposed in the basis of Bessel functions J
m
(kr) and Hankel functions H
(1(2))
m
(kr)
with integral m ∈ (−∞, ∞). Since the field intensity is finite everywhere including the origin,
thus the field inside the cavity should be represented by
∑
a
m
J
m
(nkr)e
imϕ
when r < r
c
with
r
c
is the radius of the cavity. The field outside (r > r

) is represented by

and

, which correspond to the inward and outward traveling cylinder waves,
respectively.
