            Abstract : 
This paper briefly reviews the optical fiber-based microresonators highlighting the recently demonstrated microbubble resonator, microcylinder resonator, and, also, the recently discovered microcone resonator. The theory, fabrication, and applications of these microresonators are discussed.
