Whispering gallery mode resonators (WGMRs) have achieved significant results due to their
unique properties such as extremely small mode volume, ultra‐high quality (Q) factor, fast …

The optical microresonators reviewed in this paper are called bottle microresonators
because their profile often resembles an elongated spheroid or a microscopic bottle. These …

With the advantages of high quality factor (Q) and small mode volume, whispering gallery
mode (WGM) microcavities obtain lower detection limits and have been increasingly applied …

Whispering gallery mode (WGM) optical microresonators have been shown to be the basis
for sensors able to detect minute changes in their environment. This has made them a well …

We describe a novel method for making microbottle-shaped lasers by using a CO2 laser to
melt Er: Yb glass onto silica microcapillaries or fibres. This is realised by the fact that the two …

In general, photonic nanojets (PNJs) occur only when the refractive index (Ri) difference
between the microparticle and background media is less than 2. The minimum full width at …

Passive and active polymer micro bottle resonators (MBRs) are fabricated. Equatorial
whispering gallery modes and bottle modes are clearly identified, with highest loaded …

Microbottle resonators (MBR) are bottle-like structures fabricated by varying the radius of an
optical fiber. MBRs can support whispering gallery modes (WGM) by the total internal …

An integrated full polymeric sensing platform composed by a self-assembled bottle
microresonators packaged with planar waveguide in a stable structure is presented …

We investigate selective excitation of localized axial modes in a high-Q microcylindrical
resonator experimentally, numerically, and theoretically. The resonator is fabricated using a …
