“…Generally speaking, the performances of passive CROW based devices, particularly CROW delay lines, are inherently limited by the losses (i.e., the Q-factor) of the individual cavities [6]. Recently, it was suggested to incorporate gain into the cavity to overcome this problem [7].…”

Abstract-We study the lasing eigen-modes and dynamics of circular array of coupled lasers in a rotating framework for ultrasensitive integrated optical rotation sensing applications. The dependence of the mode and frequency splitting on the array parameters and pumping level is studied in details. The impact of structure variations and disorder such as variations of the resonance wavelength of the individual cavities and the inter-cavity coupling is studied and found to generate a "dead-zone" which limits the sensitivity of the sensor.

“…INTRODUCTION R ECENTLY, the ability to control the group velocity v g of light in dedicated media or structures has attracted the attention of many researchers [1]- [14]. "Slow" light, which is a phenomenon whereby light travels with a low v g (much lower than the light velocity in vacuum c), will enhance light-matter interaction and, hence, is prospective for applications such as sensing, nonlinear optics, light generation, and amplification, as well as applications such as optical delay lines and memory, which rely on the fact that light pulses are heavily delayed [1], [2]. In addition, light can also be controlled to travel with large v g (i.e., superluminal v g , where v g is larger than c) or even with negative v g [1], [3]- [6], [8], [9].…”

Abstract-The group velocity v g of light in two-port ringresonator (TPRR) circuits with loss is theoretically studied. We point out four possible operation regimes, i.e., "slow" light with positive v g , "slow" light with negative v g , "fast" light with negative v g , and "fast" light with positive v g , where "slow" means |v g | < c and "fast" means |v g | > c, with c denoting the velocity of light in vacuum. The temporal behavior of pulses passing through the TPRR for the four operation regimes and the potential of "slow" light TPRR either with positive or negative v g for sensing applications are also discussed.

“…A variety of concepts exist; among these are series of microring or -disk resonators (Yariv et al 1999;Little et al 2004;Morichetti et al 2007), sequences of defects in photonic crystals or photonic crystal slabs (Bayindir et al 2000;Reynolds et al 2001;Scheuer et al 2005), and coupled dielectric spheres (Astratov et al 2004;Chen et al 2006). Some configurations can also be viewed as specific extended cases of photonic molecules (Boriskina 2005(Boriskina , 2006Boriskina et al 2007).…”

Chains of coupled square dielectric cavities are investigated in a 2-D setting, by means of a quasi-analytical eigenmode expansion method. Resonant transfer of optical power can be achieved along quite arbitrary, moderately long rectangular paths (up to 9 coupled cavities are considered), even with individual standing-wave resonators of limited quality. We introduce an ab-initio coupled mode model, based on a simple superposition of slab mode profiles as a template for the field of individual cavities. Although no loss mechanisms are built in, the model can still help to interprete the results of the former numerical experiments.
