Abstract
High-quality-factor (Q > 106) silicon optical microdisks are fabricated out of silicon-on-insulator wafers. Optical loss mechanisms are characterized through fiber-taper-probe measurements. Nonlinear effects including Raman and Brillouin scattering, and thermal and free-carrier driven optical bistability are presented.
