We demonstrate a compact in-fiber integrated microresonator based on a silica microsphere and microstructure fiber. Whispering-gallery-modes (WGMs) are effectively excited through evanescent field coupling between the silica microsphere and one of the input tube waveguides of negative curvature fiber. The WGM spectrum with the Q-factor of ∼2.56 × 103 and the extinction ratio of ∼15.2 dB is achieved. The transmission spectra evolution for 5 h reveals the long-term stability of WGM excitation. The experimental results indicate that the in-fiber integrated resonator has the advantages of high stability, high integration, robustness, alignment-free assembly structure, and low cost, motivating potential applications in the lab-in-fiber platform.
