“…With a calculated finesse of F = 15.4 our beads show similar quality as other reported microresonators. 32 In one instance we were able to produce a polymerized microbead with a Q-factor of ∼2900 and a corresponding finesse of F = 24.5 demonstrating the possibility to generate high quality and long living spherical microresonators.…”

“…The strong need for miniaturization lies behind the development of integrated photonic devices as optical traps. In a recent report [86], stable, high Q-factor curved FP cavities have been introduced as functional optical traps since they offer competing advantages: compactness, on-chip trapping, need for low power, 2-D confinement for the light and particles binding. The curved FP cavity deployed for this specific application is reviewed in this section.…”

In this paper, we review recent advances in optical microinstruments based on distributed Bragg reflectors (DBR) focusing mainly on two application areas: spectrometry and profilometry. For spectrometry applications, we consider state-of-theart architectures. Among these are novel architectures of high-Q Fabry-Perot resonators based on cylindrical surfaces. In addition, we consider a microelectromechanical Michelson interferometer based on a robust (silicon-air) beam splitting interface. Its measurement principle relies on recording the spatial interferogram using movable mirror followed by inverse Fast Fourier transform (iFFT) to deduce the spectral content of the tested sample. For profilometry applications instead, an elaborated Michelson interferometer based on planar DBR is deployed for profile measurements using the technique of wavelength sweep and FFT to extract the dimensional characteristics. In the last section, we revisit the applications of DBR structures in optofluidics wherein a curved FP cavity has been deployed for optical trapping and binding of microparticles. Besides, a Michelson-based optofluidic probe has been deployed for off-chip measurements of fluid refractive index and absorbance. Globally, DBR based microinstruments demonstrate a strong potential in the targeted application areas.

“…Recently, the concept was extended to produce an optofluidic device comprising Fabry–Pérot cylindrical cavity embedding a fluidic capillary tube, as shown in Fig. . The capillary is intended to carry fluids and at the same time, it acts as a lens for light focusing, leading to an optofluidic Pérot cavity whose quality factor can exceed 1000.…”

The integration of microactuators within a silicon photonic chip gave rise to the field of optical micro‐electro‐mechanical systems (MEMS) that was originally driven by the telecommunication market. Following the latter's bubble collapse in the beginning of the third millennium, new directions of research with considerable momentum appeared focusing on the realization and applications of miniaturized instrumentation in biology, chemistry, physics and materials science. At the heart of these applications light interferometry is a key optical phenomenon, in which miniaturized scanning interferometers are the manipulating optical devices. Monolithic free‐space optical interferometers realized on a silicon chip take advantage of the recent progress in the microfabrication technology that is enabling accurate control of the etching depth, the aspect ratio, the verticality and the curvature of the etched surfaces. The fabrication technology, the library of micro‐optical and mechanical components, the realized architectures and their characterization are described in detail in this review, followed by a discussion of the foreseen challenges.
