摘要
This report describes novel whispering-gallery resonators with added physical properties, including a micro-toroidal cavity with large free spectral range similar to 400GHz and finesse > 10(4), a lithium niobate spherical cavity in a high-efficiency X-band electro-optic modulator, and an immersed silica microsphere as high-resolution chemical sensor.
