TLDR
In this article, the authors review recent advances in the investigation of optical modes in single three-dimensional whispering gallery microcavities and coupled microresonators, which have the potential for development of single-photon emitters, nanojets, sensors and low-threshold lasers and for fundamental studies of optical matter interactions.Abstract:
We will review recent advances in the investigation of optical modes in single three-dimensional whispering-gallery microcavities and coupled microresonators. Due to the small size and high quality factor these resonators have the potential for development of single-photon emitters, nanojets, sensors and low-threshold lasers and for fundamental studies of optical matter interactions.read more

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the competing dynamical processes involved in optical amplification and lasing in nanocrystal quantum dots and found that, despite a highly efficient intrinsic nonradiative Auger recombination, large optical gain can be developed at the wavelength of the emitting transition for close-packed solids of these dots.

Micrometre-scale silicon electro-optic modulator
TL;DR: Electro-optic modulators are one of the most critical components in optoelectronic integration, and decreasing their size may enable novel chip architectures, and here a high-speed electro-optical modulator in compact silicon structures is experimentally demonstrated.
