Whispering gallery mode (WGM) optical microresonators have attracted intense interests in
the past decades. The combination of high quality factors (Q) and small mode volumes of …

Whispering‐gallery modes (WGM) on a spherical surface were first described by Lord
Rayleigh at the beginning of the last century, but only after the invention of laser did they …

Confinement of light into small volumes has become an essential requirement for photonic
devices; examples of this trend are provided by optical fibers, integrated optical circuits …

We describe a general framework based on modal expansion for the study of optical-
frequency combs generated with monolithic whispering-gallery-mode resonators. We obtain …

Rare-earth elements are of interest in several high-tech and environmental application
areas, the two major ones concerning magnetic and optical devices. In the latter field, one …

We review recent advances in the application of dielectric whispering-gallery (WG)
resonators in optics and photonics, tracing the growth of the technology from the …

We describe a reproducible method of fabricating adiabatic tapers with 3–4 μ m diameter.
The method is based on a heat-and-pull rig, whereby a CO 2 laser is continuously scanned …

Optical resonators play an ubiquitous role in modern optics. A particular class of optical
resonators is constituted by spherical dielectric structures, where optical rays are total …

Настоящая монография посвящена теории оптических высокодобротных
микрорезонаторов и их применению в линейной, нелинейной, квантовой и прикладной …
