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 whispering-gallery-mode microresonators with ultrahigh quality factors and small
mode volumes have played an important role in modern physics. They have been …

Unter allen Messgrößen ist die Frequenz diejenige, die mit dem höchsten Grad an
Sicherheit bestimmt werden kann. Damit sind auch präzise Messungen von anderen …

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 …

Optical resonators with whispering-gallery modes-part II: applications Page 1 IEEE JOURNAL
OF SELECTED TOPICS IN QUANTUM ELECTRONICS, VOL. 12, NO. 1, JANUARY/FEBRUARY …

Typical microresonators exhibit a large frequency spacing between resonances and a
limited tunability. This impedes their use in a large class of applications which require a …

We develop a method for fabricating very small silica microbubbles having a micrometer-
order wall thickness and demonstrate the first optical microbubble resonator. Our method is …

Selective excitation of spheroidal whispering gallery modes and bottle modes in a robust
bottle microresonator fabricated straightforwardly from a short section of optical fiber is …

Whispering-gallery-mode resonators have been extensively used in conjunction with
different materials for the development of a variety of photonic devices. Among the latter …

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 …
