title = "Vertical Cavities and Micro-Ring Resonators",
abstract = "The scope of this chapter is to present the concepts of vertical cavities (VCs) and $$\mu $$ -ring resonators (MRs). The chapter commences with the motivation for progressing beyond conventional edge-emitting cavities emphasising on the potential of VC and MRs. The fundamental physics of VC and MRs is then analysed focusing on device design aspects. VCs are studied for optical amplifier applications. Lasing VCs are analysed in terms of polarisation dynamics. MRs in single and multi-ring configurations, like coupled resonator optical waveguides (CROWs) and side-coupled integrated spaced sequence of resonators, (SCISSORs) are discussed. Active MRs for lasers and amplifiers are investigated.",
