Abstract
We analyze hyper-parametric oscillations in optical microresonators characterized with small group velocity dispersion (GVD) and show that the nonlinear process critically depends on linear interaction among the microresonator modes. The mode interaction changes the local GVD, resulting in either a significant reduction or increase of the oscillation threshold.
