Abstract

We investigate the optical modes of hollow ring resonator with omnidirectional reflector cladding by numerical method. We demonstrate that each TM_0ml mode (or TE_0ml mode) can split into two modes whose wavelengths are very close. The doublet effect is caused by the symmetry breaking at circular cross section when a straight waveguide is curled into a ring shape. The ring-shaped hollow Bragg cavity provides a platform to research the interaction of Rydberg atoms and light mode.
