Fast, Slow, Stopping and Storing Light Simultaneously using a PANDA Ring On-Chip

Abstract

Past and slow light behaviors are the interesting aspects of light which can be useful for many fundamental and applied researches. Pornsuwancharoen and Yupapin et al. [1] have proposed the use of a simple device called “microring resonator” to perform such behaviors. In this research work, the four different behaviors of light i.e., fast, slow, stopping and storing of light where investigated using a ring resonator. Nowadays, stopping or cooling light beam has become the promising technique for atom/molecule trapping investigations (using static or dynamic tweezers), especially, after the announcement of Nobel Prize 2012 in Physics on the whispering gallery modes [2, 3]. There are two more kinds of devices that can be used to trap light beams, the use of microcavity arrays performed by Yanik and Fan [4], and nonlinear microring resonator by Yupapin and Pornsuwancharoen [5] for stopping light (laser beam). Nanyang Technological University scientists have also done experiment to slowing the light in microresonators using a microring system recently [6]. This concept is a concrete backbone for many applications.

Novel micro‐scale sensors using WGMS within the modified add‐drop filter circuits

“…The use of WGMs has been more successful after the announcement of Nobel Prize 2012 in Physics on the WGMs . The use of WGMs for sensing applications has also shown the promising indications with various configurations , where the dominant form of WGMs induced by the microsphere device. Recently, WGMs in micro‐optical device known as a PANDA ring have shown the interesting results and applications .…”
