the condition in which a resonator's coupling rate to a waveguide equals its internal loss rate, so transmission at resonance drops to zero.

In photonics and optical engineering, critical coupling refers to the condition in which a resonator's coupling rate to a waveguide equals its internal loss rate, so transmission at resonance drops to zero. This meaning comes from Yariv (2000) in Electronics Letters.[1]
