Abstract
The excitation possibilities and features of whispering gallery modes in a spherically shaped leuco sapphire resonator placed in the waveguide radiator field have been experimentally studied. The most effective excitation conditions of a uniaxial-anisotropy spherical resonator have been determined.

KEY WORDS: anisotropic sphere, whispering gallery mode, waveguide radiator, excitation efficiency
