An integrated optical device with a loop resonator is provided, having at
least one closed waveguiding loop which has losses. A coupler and at
least one input waveguide is coupled to the loop resonator, An adjustment
unit controls a coupling coefficient K.sub.1 of the coupler, and a second
coupler is coupled to the loop resonator. At least one output waveguide
is coupled with the second coupler to the loop resonator. Another
adjustment unit is configured to control coupling coefficient K.sub.2 of
the second coupler, being related to the value of K.sub.1, accordingly to
the following equation K.sub.2=f{K.sub.1,.xi.}, providing Q{K.sub.2}=Max
{Q}, where (1-.xi.) are the total optical losses within the loop
resonator and Q is a resonator characteristic.
