Micron-sized liquid droplets exhibit unique optical properties, including lower threshold
energies for non-linear optical processes than are observed in the bulk liquid phase …

Optical whispering gallery modes (WGMs) derive their name from a famous acoustic
phenomenon of guiding a wave by a curved boundary observed nearly a century ago. This …

The formation of nanometre-scale surface structures by atomic manipulation with the
scanning tunnelling microscope has opened up opportunities for creating new metastable …

Laser cavities are open systems, in that energy can leak to the outside via output coupling.
The ''normal modes''are therefore quasinormal modes, with eigenvalues that are complex …

A micron-sized liquid droplet acts as a very high-quality factor optical cavity. The cavity
modes are referred to as morphology-dependent resonances (MDRs), which are sensitive to …

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 …

Random lasers are a developing class of light sources that utilize a highly disordered gain
medium as opposed to a conventional optical cavity. Although traditional random lasers …
