We demonstrate the excitation and characterization of whispering gallery modes in a deformed optical microcavity. To fabricate deformed microdisk microresonators we established a fabrication process relying on dry plasma etching tools for many degrees of freedom and a shape-accurate morphology. This approach allowed us to fabricate resonators of different sizes with a controlled sidewall angle and underetching in large quantities with reproducible properties such as a surface roughness ≤2. The excitation and characterization of these modes were achieved by using a state-of-the-art tapered fiber coupling setup with a narrow linewidth tunable laser source. The conducted measurements in shortegg resonators showed at least two modes within a spectral range of about 237 pm. The highest -factors measured were in the range of 10. Wave optical eigenmode and frequency domain simulations were conducted that could partially reproduce the observed behavior and therefore allow us to compare the experimental results.

The recent developments in scanning electrochemical probe techniques focus on the strategy of scanning the electrolyte. For example, scanning electrochemical cell microscopy (SECCM) is based on holding the electrolyte in a glass capillary, while scanning gel electrochemical microscopy (SGECM) immobilizes the gel electrolyte on micro-disk electrodes or etched metal wires. In both SECCM and SGECM, the first and essential step is to bring the electrolyte probe into contact with the sample, which is very often achieved by current feedback with a constant applied potential between the probe and the sample.

Lattice strain in crystals can be exploited to effectively tune their physical properties. In microscopic structures, experimental access to the full strain tensor with spatial resolution at the (sub-)micrometer scale is at the same time very interesting and challenging. In this work, how scanning X-ray diffraction microscopy, an emerging model-free method based on synchrotron radiation, can shed light on the complex, anisotropic deformation landscape within three dimensional (3D) microstructures is shown.

However, the deformations introduced in the microcavity structure tend to decrease the quality factor (Q factor), resulting in weakened output intensity. To address this issue, one potential approach is to employ highly efficient laser gain media that can compensate for the negative impact of the structure on the output intensity.

Second-order χ nonlinear processes play an important role in the realization of several key quantum photonic components. However, owing to their centrosymmetric nature, CMOS-compatible materials including silicon (Si) and germanium (Ge) traditionally do not possess the χ response.

Different symmetric optical modes localized on a stable period-3 orbit coalesce to form chiral EPs. Unlike a circular microdisk perturbed by two scatterers (CTS), our proposed system requires only one scatterer to build chiral EPs.
