Abstract :
The paper investigates the temporal response of a passive fibre optic ring resonator illuminated by an amplitude stabilised single mode pulsed laser light source of frequency ω0. The output pulse shape is found to depend on the input pulse shape, the ratio of the source coherence time τc to the resonator delay time τ, and also the ring resonator phase delay ω0 τ. Under certain conditions, periodic oscillations in output intensity occur, and the paper provides a simple physical explanation of these in terms of the resonator phase delay
