A thulium–holmium fiber (THDF) laser cavity has been demonstrated with a SU-8 polymer microring resonator (PMRR) in the cavity. The PMRR has a 500 μm radius and fabricated using the lithography method, with the SU-8 polymer acting as a host material. The butt coupling method was used for the horizon...
