Microspheres possess high quality factor morphology-dependent resonances, i.e., whispering gallery modes. These resonances have narrow linewidths necessary for applications to compact optoelectronic devices for wavelength division multiplexing. The morphology dependent resonances have high quality factors of 104 and 105 with channel spacings of 0.14 nm in glass and 0.05 nm in silicon microspheres.
