Abstract
A semicylindrical microresonator with relatively simple excitation by a plane wave is studied. The resonator is formed on the base of a dielectric/metal/dielectric structure, where the wave energy penetrates into the resonator through a thin metal layer and is stored in a semicylindrical dielectric with high permittivity. The proposed microresonator combines features of Fabry–Perot and whispering-gallery-mode resonators. Dependence of radiation losses on the radius and materials are estimated by theoretical analysis, while excitation by a plane wave is shown via numerical analysis. A quality -factor of the resonator up to can be achieved at a radius of the semicylinder of several micrometers.
