Abstract
The basic functional element of microfiber photonics
is a microfiber coil resonator (MCR), which potentially can perform filtering,
time delay, and nonlinear transformations of electromagnetic waves, as well
as sensing of the ambient medium. The first experimental demonstration of
an MCR has been recently performed by researchers of the OFS Laboratories
(Optical Fiber Communication Conference 2007, Postdeadline paper PDP46). This
paper follows up on the later publication presenting a brief introduction
to the theory, transmission properties and applications of optical micro/nanofibers
and MCRs. Fabrication of MCRs in air and in liquid is reported. For the MCR
immersed in liquid, the Q-factor exceeding 60 000 is achieved.
