Patent attributes
A wavelength converter device is provided for generating a converted radiation at frequency ωg through interaction between at least one signal radiation at frequency ωs and at least one pump radiation at frequency ωp, including an input for the at least one signal radiation at frequency ωs, a pump light source for generating the at least one pump radiation at frequency ωp, an output for taking out the converted radiation at frequency ωg, a structure for transmitting the signal radiation, including two optical resonators having a non-linear material, having an optical length of at least 40*λ/2, λ being the wavelength of the pump radiation, and resonating at the pump, signal and converted frequencies ωp, ωs and ωg, wherein by propagating through the structure, the pump and signal radiation generate the converted radiation by non-linear interaction within the optical resonators.
