Shouldn't it be a low quality Fabry-Perot? Generally optical cavities using an antiresonant F-P only work if the finesse of the F-P is low.--Srleffler 04:03, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Admittedly most who have specialized in optical waveguides have heard of this model. Yet, it neither serves as a striking pedagogical tool nor is it yielding any effects that effect our general understanding of physics. Consequently, it should be of low importance. --Frozenport (talk) 16:27, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]


As I was reviewing your page I noticed that it is very well worded and suited to someone familiar with ARROW and what it is used for. The format looks good and the page as updated will be a great improvment. However, as someone less familiar with the ARROW technique, as I am sure many of Wikipedia's readers are, I was left a little unclear as to the types of experiments/discoveries that have been made with this technique. I do not know if there is a way to add such a sentence or not based on the reviews that you have cited. The current Wikipedia page is no help. Perhaps there is already enough information to grasp what is being done with ARROW and I am failing to see it. Either way, food for thought. Cpm827 (talk) 05:10, 29 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]


Roger, your page is dope. A couple of things you may want to add/change: 1) In the first paragraph under the "Principles of Operation" section, you talk about "light in the layer." Which "layer?" Is it a leyar from the figure on the right? Please explain that a little bit. 2) In the first paragraph under "Principles of Operation," you may want to link "resonance" or "antiresonance" to other wiki pages. 3) It would be great if you could include an image of one - maybe the diagram you made - so that readers could get a visual of what you are talking about in the second paragraph. 4) If feel like the page never really tells me what it IS or what it DOES, just a lot of details about how it works and then all of the considerations you need to make. that being said, I think you just need a few sentences at the top (the very top paragraph) that says something like "an ARROW is a small object that contains features that help it direct light. Because it can direct light it can be used for ..." Then you can get more into how to actually use one and what they are actually used for in the applications section. 5) I feel like the entire applications sections should really be titled "considerations" or "variations in waveguides" or "specifications" or something like that. 6) I feel like an application section would still be awesome and very very very helpful for a non-biophysicist reading the page. You should just include the hypothetical situation and the figure that you used in your in class presentation as the example in the applications section.
