When radiation propagates in an optical ring resonator, apart from the main peaks, additional peaks are observed. It is known that the strain of optical fiber induces birefringence. Assuming that an additional peak is associated with the main peak, we proposed a model describing the relative position of the main and additional resonance peaks. The model predicts induced birefringence based on the frequency difference between the main and additional peaks. For experimental verification, we fabricated an optical ring resonator, measured the difference between the main and additional peaks and obtained the birefringence value. This value was –(3.42 ± 0.51)·10−7, consistent with values obtained in other studies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
