Abstract :
In this paper we review on polymer micro-resonators incorporating both passive and electro-optic polymers. We have presented recent data on micro-resonator strain sensors. The fabrication, analysis, and measurement of the optical strain sensors have been presented. Tunable laser mirrors based on coupled electro-optic micro-resonators instead of Bragg gratings has been proposed.
