We demonstrate wavelength tuning of a micro-fluidic dye ring laser. Wavelength tunability is obtained by controlling the liquid dye concentration. The device performance is modelled by FEM simulations supporting a ray-tracing view.

The evolution of individual microsphere-resonator modes into coherently coupled photon states is studied using polarization-sensitive imaging spectroscopy. Photon localization is found both due to Bloch-mode formation and size disorder in agreement with a coupled-oscillator model.
