Abstract :
Experimental observation of whispering gallery modes in novel silicon microcylindrical resonator is reported. Silicon fibres are fabricated using a high pressure chemical deposition technique to fill silica capillaries with the semiconductor material. This process can be easily modified to fill capillaries of various internal diameters with the deposited material taking on the pristine smoothness of the capillary walls (0.1 nm RMS).
