Abstract

A model of an integrated photonic device based on an O-ring resonator and loop waveguide reflector operated at telecom wavelength (1550 nm) was developed. A well-studied model of the O-ring resonator was used, and added a waveguide loop mirror to reflect radiation to input. The loop design was altered by varying the distance between the loop and the ring resonator. The obtained results can be used for gas-sensing aims if a device is coupled only with one optical fiber, both an input and an output. Such a device can be used in hard-to-reach places where the presence of a person is not desirable or may be even dangerous.
