Abstract
An optical device for use in data communication technique is presented. The device comprises a combination of two spaced-apart waveguides and at least two spaced-apart resonator-cavity loops. The resonator-cavity loops are accommodated between the two waveguides and connected to each other through sections of the waveguides in such a manner that the resonator-cavity loops and the waveguide sections create a closed loop compound resonator for storing optical energy of a predetermined frequency range. A control means is used for controlling physical characteristics of the compound resonator to adjust its optical storage characteristics.
