We present a fiber-ring resonator that realizes an ultra-narrowband, high-extinction, low-loss, tunable optical filter. It consists of a pair of commercial variable ratio directional couplers that allow precise adjustment of the filter bandwidth and its on-resonance transmission. The software RP Resonator is a particularly flexible tool for calculating all kinds of mode properties, even including misalignment effects, and allowing sophisticated design optimizations. Both standing-wave and ring resonators are supported. (These can be, but are not limited to being, waveguides. ) The concepts behind optical ring resonators are the same as those behind whispering galleries except that. In this chapter, theoretical analysis and electro-optical characterization of a fiber optic passive ring resonator interferometer (FOPRRI) were realized. First, a theo-retical description and analysis of all-pass and add-drop filter configurations were performed, hence obtaining their respective. We have studied structures where a concentric ring with an index higher than that of the cladding index is added to a conventional fiber core.
