dc.description.abstract | Polarization effects in the microcavity parametric oscillator are studied using a simple model in which two
x3 optical parametric oscillators are coupled together. It is found that there are, in general, a number of steady
states of the model under continuous pumping. There are both continuous and discontinuous thresholds, at
which new steady states appear as the driving intensity is increased: at the continuous thresholds, the new state
has zero output intensity, whereas at the discontinuous threshold it has a finite output intensity. The discontinuous
thresholds have no analog in the uncoupled device. The coupling also generates rotations of the linear
polarization of the output compared with the pump, and shifts in the output frequencies as the driving polarization
or intensity is varied. For large ratios of the interaction between polarizations to the interaction within
polarizations, of the order of 5, one of the thresholds has its lowest value when the pump is elliptically
polarized. This is consistent with recent experiments in which the maximum output was achieved with an
elliptically polarized pump. | en |
