Steady-state performance analysis of fiber-optic ring resonator

This paper presents a full steady-state analysis of a fiber-optic ring resonator (FORR). Although in the literature the steady-state response of the FORR has been described, a detailed description of the same is not available. As an understanding of the different steady-state characteristics of the FORR is required to appreciate its characteristic response, in this paper, the expressions for the output and loop intensities, phase angles of the fields, conditions for resonance, output and loop intensities at resonance and off-resonance, finesse, and group delay of the FORR are given for different ideal and practical operating conditions of the resonator. Graphical plots of all the above characteristics are given, by highlighting the important results. The information presented in this paper will be helpful in explaining and understanding the pulse response of the resonator used in different applications of FORR.
