Abstract: | We report on the fabrication technique of ultra high Q optical crystalline whispering gallery mode microresonators and discuss their properties. The technique is suitable for the majority of available optical crystals and for production of resonators with small size. To validate the method, we made CaF2 resonators with Q factors exceeding 4 × 108 and a diameter smaller than 100 μm. A single mode resonator has also been fabricated. Possible utilization of these new resonators in quantum optics is discussed. |
