Abstract
We demonstrate a nearly spherical diamond whispering gallery mode resonator with quality factor ( factor) limited by material loss approaching . The factor does not depend on the wavelength: it is approximately the same at 1319 and 1550 nm. Resonators with this range of ( at 1550 nm wavelength) are attractive for laser locking and stabilization. Applications such as stable compact optical comb generators as well as Raman optical frequency shifters will be feasible with further improvement of the material.
