We demonstrate the first whispering gallery resonators made from the nonlinear crystal beta barium borate. Quality factors were measured at various optical wavelengths and they exceeded 108 in the ultraviolet wavelength regime. From these measurements we inferred new upper bounds for the absorption coefficients of beta barium borate at 1560 nm, 980 nm and 370 nm. Additionally, the polarization properties of the resonances in this angle-cut birefringent resonator were characterized. With these measurements, we laid the basis to combine the outstanding properties of whispering gallery resonators with the nonlinear optical properties of beta barium borate. This offers novel applications for whispering gallery resonators in nonlinear optics in the ultraviolet wavelength regime.
