Optical resonators with whispering-gallery modes-part I: basics (2006, background): “It should be mentioned here that nonnegligible free beam coupling can still be used for certain experiments with WGM of rather high Q, 10(5) − 10(8), if it is limited by sizable contribution of scattering [41], [42], [44]–[47] in overall loss budget.”
Review of Applications of Whispering-Gallery Mode Resonators in Photonics and Nonlinear Optics (2005, background): “Rayleighscattering-mediated intracavity backscattering reaches 100 percent, as was shown theoretically [44] and demonstrated experimentally [312].”
Fundamental thermal fluctuations in microspheres (2003, unknown): “rC (n qn (2)uGnu(2) D(2)qn 4 1 V2 , (14)”
Optical resonators with whispering-gallery modes-part II: applications (2006, background): “because of restrictions imposed on scattering angles by cavity confinement, so very high-Q WGMs are feasible [219].”
Optomechanically Induced Transparency (2010, unknown): “These resonators feature a unique combination of low effective mass meff and large coupling g0, and can be engineered to display very low mechanical dissipation Γm by decoupling the mechanical radial-breathing mode (RBM) from other mechanical modes [15].”
