Abstract

Whispering Gallery Modes (WGMs) microresonators continue to receive an even greater interest for investigation in many fundamental processes (e.g.: quantum electrodynamics or non–linear optics) and in more applied fields of photonics (e.g.: filters, microlasers and chemical/biological sensing), due to their high Q—factors, small mode volumes and long photon storage times. Here we present an overview on the main results obtained in our Labs about the implementation of these optical microcavities as suitable platform for sensing and biosensing applications.
