Looks like it is the whispering gallery.

''Conclusion
We have derived the small-signal transfer functions for both RM-MR and CM-MR modulators on the basis of CMT. From these results the modulation efficiencies were obtained along with the 3-dB modulation bandwidth. To validate the developed small-signal model, the transfer functions were compared with experimental data, and found to agree well. Modulation efficiencies for the RM-MR and CM-MR modulators were compared with each other and with the common MZM. Finally, an expression for the dynamic power dissipation was presented and found to provide good agreement to data reported in the literature.''
