  Micron scale silicon nitride (SiN_x) microdisk optical resonators are
demonstrated with Q = 3.6 x 10^6 and an effective mode volume of 15 (\lambda /
n)^3 at near visible wavelengths. A hydrofluoric acid wet etch provides
sensitive tuning of the microdisk resonances, and robust mounting of a fiber
taper provides efficient fiber optic coupling to the microdisks while allowing
unfettered optical access for laser cooling and trapping of atoms. Measurements
indicate that cesium adsorption on the SiN_x surfaces significantly red-detunes
the microdisk resonances. A technique for parallel integration of multiple (10)
microdisks with a single fiber taper is also demonstrated.
