We present a comprehensive overview of sensor technology exploiting optical whispering
gallery mode (WGM) resonances. After a short introduction we begin by detailing the …

Optical microcavities that confine light in high-Q resonance promise all of the capabilities
required for a successful next-generation microsystem biodetection technology. Label-free …

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 …

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 …

This work takes inspiration from chemistry where the spectral characteristics of the
molecules are determined by hybridization of electronic states evolving from the individual …

Sensitive and rapid label-free biological and chemical sensors are needed for a wide variety
of applications including early disease diagnosis and prognosis, the monitoring of food and …

TION wileyonlinelibrary. com Adv. Mater. 2011, 23, 5773–5778 with diameters ranging from
1 to 40 µ m. Due to its hydrophobicity, the CLC droplets acquired a spherical shape and a …

Resonant light pressure effects can open new degrees of freedom in optical manipulation
with microparticles, but they have been traditionally considered as relatively subtle effects …

Si doped HfO2 based ferroelectric capacitors integrated into Back-End-Of-Line (BEOL) 130
nm CMOS technology were investigated in regard to critical reliability parameters for their …

We theoretically investigate the application of coupled optical microcavities as refractive
index sensors. Coupled microcavities support a very sharp asymmetrical Fano resonance …
