Microlasers have experienced tremendous development in the past decade and become an
essential part in laser evolution, as miniature lasers provide strong optical confinement and …

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 …

Because of their small mode volume and high Q-factors, optical microresonators are
interesting for applications such as laser sources, active filters and all-optical switches …

I started the work on liquid crystal colloids around the year 2000 as a continuation of our
experiments on forces between surfaces in liquid crystals. We were using the atomic force …

This paper describes the generation and optical characterization of a series of dye-doped
droplet-based optical microcavities with continuously decreasing radius in a microfluidic …

Optofluidic lasers are an emerging technology for the development of miniaturized light
sources and biological and chemical sensors. However, most optofluidic lasers …

Whispering-gallery modes resonances of submicron wall thickness capillaries exhibit very
large wavelength shifts as a function of the refractive index of the medium that fills the inside …

An ideally flexible laser may function in unison with minute fluctuations in nature. Lasers
made solely from liquids are promising toward this end, but they are intrinsically unstable …

Superhydrophobic nanoporous anodic aluminum oxide (alumina) surfaces were prepared
using treatment with vapor-phase hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS). Nanoporous alumina …

This review presents the main results that were achieved over the past decade in the new
field of liquid-crystal micro-photonics. After a general introduction to some aspects of state-of …
