Enhanced coupled-resonator-induced transparency and optical fano resonance via intracavity backscattering by Ang, Thomas Y. L., Ngo, Nam Quoc

“…Also, the use of intracavity backscattering allows the simultaneous production of both fast and slow light effects. In addition, it is found that the symmetric CRIT peaks can be reshaped into asymmetric OFR line shapes either by using TWMRs with different intracavity backscattering strengths when one input is launched into the circuit or by modulating the phase/amplitude difference between the dual contrapropagating inputs, which are launched into the circuit in the presence of intracavity backscattering. …”
