Strong Dispersive and Nonlinear Optical Properties of Microresonator-Modified Optical Waveguides

摘要

We describe the dispersive and nonlinear optical properties of microresonator-modified waveguides. While many applications of microresonators demand ultra-high quality factors and as a result impose strict fabrication tolerances, we examine a variety of useful devices that may be may be constructed using small numbers of only moderately-high Q resonators using the current state of the art in fabrication technology.
