Abstract

This paper reports the first experimental observations of whispering gallery mode (WGM) resonance in on-chip glass microbubble structures. Using microfabrication methods, chip-scale glass microbubbles with ultra-smooth surface and sub-micrometer wall thickness are shown to support optical resonance modes with ultra-high Q-factors of >107. The resonance is highly sensitive to temperature, with measured sensitivity of -1.8 GHz/°C. Based upon the signal to noise performance, this corresponds to a temperature resolution of 55 μΚ.
