Polymer micro-resonators and methods of fabricating the same. A liquid polymer material is applied to a micro-resonator master that includes at least one micro-resonator, such as a disk or toroid micro-resonator. The liquid molding material is cured or set to form a mold that is derived from the master. A replica of the master micro-resonator is cast using the mold, and the replicated micro-toroid resonator(s) are separated from the mold. The polymer micro-resonators can have Q factors up to about 5.times.10.sup.6. The mold and replica materials can be a silicone material, such as polydimethylsiloxane.
