High-Q microwave resonators using Quartz monocrystal
Résumé
An SiO2 whispering gallery mode resonator has been implemented in order to test is ability to realize high Q microwave cavities. The authors present preliminary experimental results at room temperature and at 77K. The observed resonance frequencies of the quasi TE (WGH) and quasi TM (WGE) modes are compared with numerical computations obtained using the finite element method.
