Laser frequency comb generators on photonic chips open up the exciting prospect of
integrated dual-comb microspectrometers. Amongst all nanophotonic platforms, the …

Frequency conversion between microwave and optical photons is a key enabling
technology to create links between superconducting quantum processors and to realize …

In this work, we analyze the first whispering gallery mode resonator (WGMR) made from
monocrystalline yttrium lithium fluoride (YLF). The disc-shaped resonator is fabricated using …

Optical microresonators offer a highly-attractive new platform for the generation of optical
frequency combs. Recently, several groups have been able to demonstrate the generation …

This thesis describes a series of projects aimed at exploring some of the applications of
single crystalline whispering-gallery-mode resonators (WGMRs). The experiments detailed …
