Polarization Coupling Based on Faraday Effect in Whispering-Gallery-Mode Resonator

In this article, we study the polarization coupling in a Faraday magnetooptical microcavity. Due to Faraday effect, the polarization coupling can be achieved between the intrinsic left and right elliptically-polarized modes. The mode characteristics of the Faraday microcavity, such as the dispersion...
