Abstract
Techniques and devices that lock and stabilize a laser to an optical resonator via self-injection locking based on a reflection feedback. A whispering gallery mode optical resonator can be implemented to provide both the optical filtering and injection feedback based on the reflection feedback from feedback optics outside the optical resonator.
