Abstract :
A normalized design approach has been developed that allows rapid estimates of parameters like the bend loss, finesse, and free spectral range of the fundamental microresonator modes of two- and three-dimensional microresonators. Based on this approach, the minimum size for a given finesse and the free spectral range for microresonators in silicon oxynitride technology are investigated.
