Abstract

The paper is devoted to the study the optical coupling by whispering gallery modes (WGM) between two micro-resonators and sensitivity of such a coupling to the time material variation of individual resonator. Semi-analytical solution for the case of instantaneous refractive index changes is obtained. Possibility of frequency shift is demonstrated.
