Ultra-High-Q Surface-Tension-Induced Monolithically Integrated On-Chip Resonator and Associated Devices

A resonator structure includes a substrate and a cladding layer formed on the substrate. A plurality of lens-shaped optical structures is formed on the cladding layer. The lens-shaped optical structures comprise chacolgenide glass being exposed to a reflow process so as to make smooth the surface of the resonator structure and increase substantially its Q factor.
