We present a review of the research on integrated optical resonators published in 2011. In particular, we focus on microdisk and microring devices and discuss high-quality factor resonators, methods to tune and trim the resonance wavelength, as well as device applications in optical communications, frequency comb generation, all-optical signal processing, sensing, and single-mode lasers.
