The Sagnac effect in Coupled-Resonator Slow-Light Waveguide Structures

Optics 2015-06-26 v1

Abstract

We study the effect of rotation on the propagation of electromagnetic waves in slow-light waveguide structures consisting of coupled micro-ring resonators. We show that such configurations exhibit new a type of the Sagnac effect which can be used for the realization of highly-compact integrated rotation sensors and gyroscopes.
