Abstract
Theoretical analysis of nonlinear-optic (NLO) interactions between traveling optical waves has been described in Chap. 3. In this chapter, NLO interactions in an optical waveguide resonator are theoretically analyzed. NLO interactions can be enhanced by using resonators, because a resonator can provide higher optical power density due to the power buildup of optical waves. Wavelength conversion with higher efficiency is expected in resonant waveguide NLO devices. There are some other interesting features unique to resonant devices, such as 100%-efficiency second-harmonic generation for a finite pump power and optical parametric oscillation.
