Abstract :
Microbubbles are thin spherical shells that can support whispering gallery modes, with evanescent fields inside and outside the resonator. We report on using microbubble resonators for temperature sensing via the large temperature dependent refractive index of fluid contained in the microbubble and for optomechanics.
