Abstract

A novel kind of optical fibre ring cavity, which acts as ‘optical capacitor’, is presented. As incident light energy can be stored in this kind of cavity, the beam intensity in it may be increased to a value which is much higher than the input intensity. Some applications are also proposed, such as enhancing the efficiency of nonlinear optical conversions, reducing the drive voltage for electro-optic switches or modulators, increasing the energy utilization ratio for optical switches or modulators and so on.
