    摘要: Various embodiments of the present invention are related to microresonator systems and to methods of fabricating the microresonator systems. In one embodiment, a microresonator system comprises a substrate having a top surface layer and at least one waveguide embedded in the substrate and positioned adjacent to the top surface layer of the substrate. The microresonator system also includes a microresonator having a top layer, an intermediate layer, a bottom layer, a peripheral region, and a peripheral coating. The bottom layer of the microresonator is attached to and in electrical communication with the top surface layer of the substrate. The microresonator is positioned so that at least a portion of the peripheral region is located above the at least one waveguide. The peripheral coating covers at least a portion of the peripheral surface and has a relatively lower index of refraction than the top, intermediate, and bottom layers of the microresonator.

    摘要: Raman spectroscopy systems include an analyte, a radiation source configured to emit incident radiation having a wavelength, and a detector that is capable of detecting only radiation having wavelengths within a detectable range that includes at least one wavelength corresponding to hyper Raman scattered radiation scattered by the analyte. The wavelength of the incident radiation is outside the detectable range. In particular systems, all wavelengths of radiation that are scattered in the direction of the detector impinge on the detector. Raman spectroscopy methods include providing an analyte and irradiating the analyte with incident radiation having a wavelength, providing a detector capable of detecting only wavelengths of radiation within a detectable range that does not include the wavelength of the incident radiation, and detecting Raman scattered radiation scattered by the analyte. A continuous path free of radiation filters may be provided between the analyte and the detector.
