  • Abstract
    In the process of higher harmonic generation, quasi phase-matching has already been demonstrated in a lithium niobate WGM cavity, showing the potential of these resonators. Here the authors present a highly efficient OPO with a WGM resonator using natural temperature phase matching, where the individual optical fields have narrow optical linewidth.
