Abstract: In recent years, optical microresonators with exquisite sensitivity have grown into powerful platforms for label-free sensing and imaging, including reaching the single-molecule detection limit. Combining optical microresonators with spectroscopic measurements on nanoscale objects adds chemical identification to label-free detection schemes, offering deeper insights into their fundamental chemical, biological, material, and photonic properties. Particularly, single-molecule measurements allow distinct observations of unsynchronized chemical dynamics, properties otherwise obscured in bulk measurements. Simultaneously, optical microresonators are also flexible playgrounds for exploring nanophotonic phenomena and quantum optics. I will tell two stories focusing on microbubble resonators. In the first, I will describe how microbubble resonators can be used to watch chemical dynamics of single nanoparticles. In the second, I will describe how microbubble resonators allow solvent control of photonic-plasmonic hybridization.
