Kulik I.O.Shumovsky, A.S.2016-02-082016-02-0819960003-6951http://hdl.handle.net/11693/25766A weakly coupled normal-metal ring surrounding an optical fiber is considered under the condition that the frequency of light in fiber is larger than the conduction bandwidth of the metal. It is shown that in the presence of static magnetic field parallel to the fiber axis, the resistance of the ring is a nonmonotone function of the optical intensity and an oscillating function of the static magnetic flux with period equal to flux quantum hc/e. The temperature dependence of oscillations requires that inelastic mean free path of electrons is larger than the ring size, and does not relate to the energy level spacing to temperature ratio. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.EnglishArticle
