Dynamically-tuned microresonator complexes

Dynamic tuning of systems of microresonators coupled to waveguides allows a rich range of physical effects. Periodic resonator arrays can be tuned to stop and store light pulses, theoretically allowing for tunable delay devices in which the delay is limited neither by bandwidth nor by dispersion. For two-resonator systems, adjustable delays can be obtained from tuning a narrow transparency resonance. Similar behavior is also predicted in a quite different physical system, that of a single photon interacting with dynamically-tuned quantum bits.
