Size effect in waveguide coupled whispering gallery mode disk resonators
Size effect in waveguide coupled whispering gallery mode disk resonators
We investigate the bound and evanescent fields of the optical whispering gallery modes which are supported by a toroid microcavity and which may be used for a wide range of applications. Results of simulations using finite-difference time domain solutions of Maxwell's equations are compared with semi-analytical solutions based on coupled mode theory. Key parameters such as resonance frequencies, transmittance characteristics, coupling efficiencies, and bending/scattering losses are analyzed as a function of experimental variables such as size, distance, and fabrication roughness. Finally, the feasibility of single-atom detection is discussed.

Abstract
We investigate the bound and evanescent fields of the optical whispering gallery modes which are supported by a toroid microcavity and which may be used for a wide range of applications. Results of simulations using finite-difference time domain solutions of Maxwell's equations are compared with semi-analytical solutions based on coupled mode theory. Key parameters such as resonance frequencies, transmittance characteristics, coupling efficiencies, and bending/scattering losses are analyzed as a function of experimental variables such as size, distance, and fabrication roughness. Finally, the feasibility of single-atom detection is discussed.
