The condition of being undercoupled and overcoupled for the lower microsphere is investigated respectively in two microspheres coupled with a fiber taper system. The effective phase shift curves which could occur in normal dispersion to generate slow light are different based on both situations. The influence of the loss coefficient and coupler parameter for each microsphere is interpreted in detail.
