Abstract

We report on the softest micro-resonator at room conditions. The softness of our resonator is limited by Brownian motion, tearing the resonator apart, when we attempt to make it softer. For comparison; our resonator exhibits a smaller interfacial tension than the air-liquid interface of liquid Helium II. While coupling light to the resonator, we can gradually deform it with holographic optical tweezers, changing it's functionality. We observe directional emission out of the micro-resonator cavity and can split a whispering-gallery resonate mode to a 10-GHz separated doublet. We measure an optical quality of 10^5
