Abstract
High-Q micro-resonators are attractive for nonlinear light generation due to their long photon storage time and small mode volumes, which lead to high circulating intensities and hence strong reductions of the necessary power for stimulated and parametric optical processes. Early work by Chang and Campillo1 used liquid micro droplets to study cavity enhanced nonlinear processes. However, due to their fragile nature, micro droplets have remained a laboratory tool.
