Square Optical Resonators Support High Q Whispering-Gallery Modes for Realizing Unidirectional Microlasers

Totally internal confined whispering-gallery modes can have high Q factors in wavelength scale optical microresonators, such as microspheres and two-dimensional microdisk resonators. Square optical resonators can also support high Q whispering-gallery modes, suitable to realize unidirectional microlasers.
