Summary:Miniaturized channel filters are in high demand for many applications such as photonic integrated circuits, information-based technology, and platforms for investigation of light–matter interactions.Recently, several photonic schemes have been proposed to achieve nanofilters, which require sophisticated growth techniques. Here, we have fabricated microdisk whispering-gallery-mode（WGM） resonators through controlled assembly of organic materials with an emulsion-solventevaporation method. Based on this emulsion assembly method, the diameters of microdisks can be easily controlled, and more importantly, a microwire-disk interconnected structure is able to be constructed via one-step assembly. This microwire-waveguide-connected microdisk heterostructure can be utilized as a channel drop filter. Our results have demonstrated a facile way to achieve flexible WGM-based photonic components which can be integrated with other functional devices.
