1. A microwave resonator device comprising:
a first resonator member comprised of a dielectric material; and
a second resonator member comprised of a dielectric material, the second resonator member being positioned spatially offset from the first resonator member to define a spatial interaction region between a lower surface of the first resonator member and an upper surface of the second resonator member configured to confine an electromagnetic field in a microwave region of the electromagnetic spectrum;
wherein the spatial offset between the first resonator member and the second resonator member defining the spatial interaction region is less than a microwave wavelength associated with a resonant frequency of the microwave resonator device, and
wherein the microwave resonator device facilitates generation of a resonant field enhancement within the spatial interaction region.
