Tunable optical delay lines based on a system of coupled whispering gallery mode resonators

Abstract

Abstract The paper presents an analysis of optical delay lines based on coupled whispering gallery mode resonators. The induced optical delay is caused by slow light regime in high finesse resonators. The analysis is based on slowly varying envelopes approach and includes evaluation of possibilities to adjust the induced delay time. We also investigate the properties of transfer coefficient of system of coupled whispering gallery mode resonators.
