Observation of optical coupling in microdisk resonators
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, optical properties of coupled silica disk microresonators are investigated. The spectral response and the light intensity distribution along the coupled disks were measured. It was found that the distribution depends on the particular excited resonance, which can be attributed to the formation of normal modes of the coupled resonator system. A developed theoretical model gives quantitative agreement with the experimental observations.

Improved optical filter responses in cascaded InGaAsP/InP microdisk resonators
Waveguide-coupled microdisk and microring resonators as optical filters have been of great interest due to their high wavelength selectivity and ultra-compact sizes [1 – 4]. Recently, higher-order filters based on microring resonators with improved performances have been demonstrated in compound glass and AlGaAs/GaAs material systems [3, 4]. These higher-order filters show steeper rolloffs and ...

A wavelengthand bandwidthtunable filter with microelectromechanical-system (MEMS)actuated waveguides is first demonstrated on a silicon-based microdisk resonator. Integrated microheaters enabled wavelength tuning up to 125GHz. Bandwidth can be tuned from 12.0 to 41.2GHz by coupling control. © 2005 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (130.3120) Integrated optics devices; (140.4780) Optical re...
متن کاملSingle-atom detection using whispering-gallery modes of microdisk resonators
We investigate the possibility of using dielectric microdisk resonators for the optical detection of single atoms trapped and cooled in magnetic microtraps near the surface of a substrate. The bound and evanescent fields of optical whispering-gallery modes are calculated and the coupling to straight waveguides is investigated using finite-difference time domain solutions of Maxwell’s equations....
