Abstract
A whispering gallery mode (WGM) resonator device and method capable of filtering sidebands of optical modulators are provided. The method includes providing an optical resonator adapted to support whispering gallery modes and forming a first field and a second field from a first location and a second location, respectively, at the circumference of the optical resonator and being separated by an arc angle, α. The method includes adjusting relative phase between the first field and the second field in accordance to a differential phase, β, and combining the first and the second fields into an output. Particular selection of the arc angle, α, and the differential phase, β, can determine the function of the output.
