| Optical Micro-Resonators are an exciting new field of research that has gained prominence in the past few years due to the emergence of new fabrication technologies. This book is the first detailed text on the theory, fabrication, and applications of optical micro-resonators, and will be found useful by both graduate students and researchers in the field.
In writing this book we sought to describe some of the important aspects and applications found in the wonderful world of optical microresonators. Of course we tell it from our respective points of view. These vantage points have been clearly biased by the specific roads we took during our investigations. We only hope that it does not detract from the ideas and information collected in this research monologue. We would never admit to perfection and cannot claim mathematical rigor in the theoretical chapters nor detailed process recipes in the chapter on fabrication. These circulating fields and their interactions have kept us busy and entertained both conceptually and in the lab for the better part of a decade. When we started out in this field, there was no textbook to consult. It is our hope that students and researchers entering this field now have such a guide.
We dedicate this effort to Erika, Priya, Rhea, Uma, Dalia, and Mariam. |
