Abstract
Whispering gallery resonators made from nonlinear crystals offer high quality factors combined with small mode volumes leading to an enhanced effective χ(2) nonlinearity. These properties facilitate studying quantum optical effects in the nonlinear regime with interacting fields differing in frequency by up to four orders of magnitude. Furthermore, the small size results in a large mode spacing allowing for heralded single photon generation in a single mode.
