DESCRIPTION:Kerry Vahala\, Caltech\, USA\, http://www.vahala.caltech.edu/\
 nIn the last 15 years there has been remarkable progress in boosting optic
 al storage time in micro and millimeter-scale optical resonators. Chip-bas
 ed devices attain Q factors of nearly 1 billion and micro-machined crystal
 line devices provide Qs exceeding 100 billion.  Extremely large resonant 
 build-up effects are possible in these devices.  And these have created n
 ew perspectives for access to all nonlinear phenomena at milliWatt and eve
 n microWatt power levels.  Whole new classes of chip-integrated devices h
 ave resulted from this capability.  After reviewing the nonlinear physics
  of high-Q resonators\, current work at Caltech on chip-based soliton micr
 ocombs and high-coherence Brillouin lasers will be discussed.  The applic
 ation of these different phenomena to microcombs for optical frequency syn
 thesis and miniature ring laser gyroscopes will be described.\n
