Tapered optical fibers (TOFs) offer interesting perspectives for controlling and confining light fields. We seek to tailor these properties through microstructuring in order to realize high Q whispering gallery mode resonators for cavity quantum electrodynamic experiments. Furthermore, we aim use the evanescent fields around optical wavelength sized TOFs in order to capture, store, and detect cold atoms. First experimental results as well as future perspectives of our project will be presented.
