Abstract
We show that a nondegenerate multifrequency parametric oscillator has different properties compared with the usual three-wave parametric oscillator. We consider, as an example, a scheme for a resonant cw monolithic microwave-optical parametric oscillator based on high-Q whispering gallery modes excited in a nonlinear dielectric cavity. Such an oscillator may have an extremely low threshold and stable operation, and may be used in spectroscopy and metrology. The oscillator mimics devices based on resonant Χ ( 3 ) nonlinearity and can be utilized for efficient four-wave mixing and optical comb generation. Moreover, the oscillator properties are important to better understand the stability conditions of long-baseline interferometers with movable mirrors that are currently used for gravity wave detection.
