Integrated micro- and nanomechanical resonators, which possess a very small mass and can be strongly coupled to light and matter, have attracted intense research interests in recent years. They are ...

Aston University researchers have developed a new class of optical microresonators, miniature optical devices that strongly confine and enhance light in microscopic dimensions. They are essential ...

Totally internal confined whispering-gallery modes can have high Q factors in wavelength scale optical microresonators, such as microspheres and two-dimensional microdisk resonators. Square optical ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The goal of the electronics industry has always been to build durable devices with stable performance that last a very long time. 'Transient electronics', however, are designed ...

New silicon nitride microresonator cuts timing jitter in soliton microcombs, boosting precision for lidar, quantum metrology, and ultrafast communications. (Nanowerk News) Laser frequency combs are ...

Microresonators are small glass structures in which light can circulate and build up in intensity. Due to material imperfections, some light is usually reflected backwards during operation, which ...

A microresonator that SMU helped create for NASA in a lab at SMU on July 8, 2022. The microresonator pictured was made using an optical fiber, which is the red wire seen, and is 1 mm, while the one ...

Optical frequency combs can link frequencies in the microwave domain to high-purity laser emissions, yielding unprecedented precision in time-keeping and metrology. Now scientists have generated ...
