Abstract:
It is noted that the best technical characteristics of optoelectronic microwave self-oscillators (OESO) are reached in schemes employing high-Q optical microresonators (OMR) working in the traveling wave modes (TWM). A possibility of using disk OMRs excited by fundamental whispering gallery modes (WGM) has been considered. Multielement coupling devices (CD) for such resonators have been investigated. They are constructed on the basis of planar optical waveguides (POWG) located over the disk resonator surface in a region bounded by the outer and inner caustics of the WGM. Models of this device have been proposed. The corresponding calculations have been provided.

Keywords:
optoelectronic microwave oscillator, “whispering gallery” mode, traveling wave, microresonator.
