Whispering-gallery-modes resonators (WGMR) are effective switching devices when either coated or filled with non-linear material. We present examples of all-optical switching of hybrid WGM using polyfluorene, a methacrylate azobenzene and an acrylate derivates. We have studied the Kerr non-linear effect and thermal nonlinearities in a such hybrid systems.
