Optical microresonators: The interplay of light and matter

Pablo Bianucci

Concordia

Optical microresonators are one of the most versatile elements in the micro-photonics toolbox, with many different uses in fundamental research and applications. They provide novel ways to manipulate light and to study the interaction between light and matter. I will provide an introduction to optical microresonators, showing different geometries, and discuss the use of spectroscopy to characterize them. I will also talk about their applications and some proof-of-concept devices that can be implemented with them.
