Abstract :
Resonance characteristics of the Whispering Gallery (WG) Mode in a large dielectric disk is investigated by three dimensional analysis and X-band model experiments. In this study, disk diameter is more than ten times (for millimeter wave case) to hundred times (for optical wave case) as large as handling wavelength. Dielectric material of the disk is considered both loss-less and dissipative cases. Resonance frequencies of the WG Mode, Q-values of the resonance, radiation loss and dielectric loss in the disk are separately obtained.
