Applications of WGM Microcavities in Physics
Year: 2022
Type: book-chapter
Abstract: Various applications have been explored for the whispering-gallery-mode (WGM) microcavities. The microcavity-based laser generation and nonlinear optics potentially allow a micron-sized light source that may be used in a photonic integrated circuit. The miniaturized optical frequency combs serve as a bridge between the radio and optical domains. Besides, the microcavities can be utilized to study the fundamental problems in physics, for instance, the parity and time-reversal ( $$\mathcal {P}\mathcal {T}$$ ) symmetric non-Hermitian quantum mechanics. The applications of microcavities in optomechanics and nanoparticle trapping are also introduced.
