摘要： Induced transparency and attenuation effects are observed in the throughput of a single whispering-gallery microresonator due to mode coupling between two coresonant orthogonally polarized whispering-gallery modes of very different quality factors. Intracavity cross-polarization coupling, occurring when either the transverse electric (TE) mode or the transverse magnetic (TM) mode is driven, results in coupled-mode induced transparency or coupled-mode induced attenuation. Coresonance between the TE and TM modes is obtained by strain tuning, and the cross-polarization coupling is produced by polarization rotation due to optical spin-orbit interaction in a slightly asymmetric resonator. The observed behavior enables slow light and fast light, i.e., the delay or advancement of an incident resonant pulse. Experimental results representative of several different types of behavior are presented here. Induced transparency is seen to be accompanied by pulse delay, whereas induced attenuation can involve pulse advancement or delay. The results are analyzed and explained by analytical modeling and by comparison to the output of a more detailed numerical model describing these effects. Delays of up to 170 ns and advancements of up to 14 ns are found. The observed range of cross-polarization coupling strengths (probability of polarization change per round trip), namely, 10?10–10?7, is in agreement with theory.
