Optical bright and dark states in side-coupled resonator structures
Philip Chak, Joyce K. S. Poon, Amnon Yariv
We analyze side-coupled standing-wave cavity structures consisting of Fabry-Perot and photonic crystal resonators coupled to two waveguides. We show that optical bright and dark states, analogous to those observed in coherent light-matter interactions, can exist in these systems. These structures may be useful for variable, switchable delay lines.
