Trapping light in a ring resonator using a grating-assisted coupler with asymmetric transmission
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A recently proposed concept suggests that a matched periodic modulation of both the refractive index and the gain/loss of the media breaks the coupling symmetry of the two co-propagating modes and allows only a unidirectional coupling from the i-th mode to j-the mode but not the opposite. This concept has been used to design a ring resonator coupled through a complex grating composed of both real (index) and imaginary (loss/gain) parts according to Euler relation: n = n0 exp(-jkx) = n0 (cos(kx) - j sin(kx)). Such asymmetrical coupling allows light to be coupled into the ring without letting it out. We present a detailed theoretical analysis of the ring resonator in the linear regime, and we investigate its linear temporal dynamics. Three possible states of the complex grating leads to the possibility of developing a dynamic optical memory cell where, for example, a data modulated train of optical pulses can be stored. This data can be accessed without destroying it, and can also be erased thus permitting the storage of a new bit. Finally, the ring can be used for pulse retiming.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
