Abstract :
Optical nonlinear processes and wave interactions are strongly enhanced inside an optical slow-wave structure consisting of a cascade of direct-coupled resonators. By combining the nonlinearity with the selective spectral behaviour, an optical oscillator and an optical limiter are predicted.
