Abstract :
The fabrication process of whispering gallery mode disk resonators is presented with different characterization techniques in order to monitor roughness and optical quality factor. This type of resonators is then used as the reference frequency element to stabilize the oscillation frequency of an optoelectronic oscillator. Experimental results are provided and demonstrate the efficiency of the method.
