            Abstract : 
High-quality factor vertically coupled InP microdisk resonators have been fabricated. Wafer bonding techniques have been used as a main approach to enable this three-dimensional structure. The devices exhibit smooth sidewalls, single mode operation, and high-quality factors in excess of 7000.
