Analysis of the dynamic response of a ring resonator to a time-varying input signal
Abstract:
An analysis of the time-dependent response of an all-fiber ring resonator is given in which the ring is illuminated by a phase-modulated input beam. The resonator is operated as a high-resolution scanning spectrometer and has a demonstrated optical resolution of 20 kHz for a single-frequency cw source. Unusual effects are observed when the ring is used to measure the spectrum of an optical signal subject to frequency or phase modulation.

RLC Circuit as a Damped Oscillator
Consider a series RLC circuit. Here, the presence of resistance in the circuit leads to energy loss due to joule heating in the resistance. Therefore, the total electromagnetic energy in the circuit is no longer constant and decreases with time. Since the magnitude of charge, current, and potential difference continuously decreases, their oscillations are said to be damped. This is...
