Abstract :
Interference of the near optical field caused by evanescent waves leaking a coupled microcavity enhances the optical field between the cavity sections. This enhancement can be used for design of microcavity lasers with outside-cavity modes and for various sensors, for example, to precisely detect the direction of incident wavefront.
