In this paper, we present a simple approach for controlling the outputWGMs of erbium-doped silica microsphere lasers. With the presented scheme, accurate adjustment of the coupling gap between the collection fiber taper and the spherical surface allows us to select different single modes of the microsphere laser or different multimode configurations (also functions of the waist diameter of taper and the Er-doped concentration). The nonlinear frequency shift of the microsphere cavity as a function of intracavity power has also been studied. The high intensity and high sidemode suppression ratio of the obtained singleWGMare suitable for spectroscopy, optical sensors, and communications. © 2013 Optical Society of America date: 2013-06 date_type: published full_text_status: public publication: J.
