Nonlinear frequency generation requires high intensity density which is usually achieved with pulsed laser sources, anomalous dispersion, high nonlinear coefficients or long interaction lengths. Whispering gallery mode microresonators (WGMRs) are photonic devices that enhance nonlinear interactions and can be exploited for continuous wave (CW) nonlinear frequency conversion, due to their capability of confine light for long time periods in a very small volume, even though in the normal dispersion regime. All signals must be resonant with the cavity. Here, we present a review of nonlinear optical processes in glass microspherical cavities, hollow and solid.

微球形谐振器中的非线性光学


非线性频率产生需要高强度密度，这通常通过脉冲激光源、反常色散、高非线性系数或长相互作用长度来实现。回音壁模式微谐振器 (WGMR) 是增强非线性相互作用的光子器件，可用于连续波 (CW) 非线性频率转换，因为它们能够将光长时间限制在非常小的体积内，即使在正常情况下也是如此。分散制度。所有信号必须与腔体谐振。在这里，我们回顾了玻璃微球腔（空心和实心）中的非线性光学过程。
