“…Spherical [27,28], cylindrical [26,[29][30][31], and more complex resonator morphologies [32] were considered. While there is no fundamental difference between the optical and microwave structures, they are practically dissimilar because of (i) the nature of attenuation in the resonator host material, and (ii) the WGM excitation techniques.…”

Optical whispering gallery modes (WGMs) derive their name from a famous acoustic phenomenon of guiding a wave by a curved boundary observed nearly a century ago. This phenomenon has a rather general nature, equally applicable to sound and all other waves. It enables resonators of unique properties attractive both in science and engineering. Very high quality factors of optical WGM resonators persisting in a wide wavelength range spanning from radio frequencies to ultraviolet light, their small mode volume, and tunable in-and out-coupling make them exceptionally efficient for nonlinear optical applications. Nonlinear optics facilitates interaction of photons with each other and with other physical systems, and is of prime importance in quantum optics. In this paper we review numerous applications of WGM resonators in nonlinear and quantum optics. We outline the current areas of interest, summarize progress, highlight difficulties, and discuss possible future development trends in these areas.

“…A dielectric sphere is an example of a ''dielectric resonator'' [54], for which the complex eigenfrequencies of the EM eigen-vibrations may be evaluated from a characteristic equation [54]. A detailed connection between the resonance scattering and eigen-vibrations using plane EM waves [55] showed that distinct resonance features arise through a mechanism in which surface waves [56] circumnavigate repeatedly the sphere's surface, leading to a resonance reinforcement [57] and an EM radiation enhancement during the scattering process.…”

“…Moreover, lower modes are most easily excited in experiments, and a spherical resonator is matched well with the elements of the microwave line of measuring systems [15,16]. In addition, the radiation losses for such resonators are small compared with the dielectric losses [15][16][17][18]. The boundary conditions for determination of the eigenfrequencies of electromagnetic modes inside a spherical resonator are known from the Mie theory [13].…”

We study the threshold conditions of the parametric excitation of temperature oscillations using pulsed microwave pumping in three-mode regime for high-Q ferroelectric cryogenic resonators made of SrTiO 3 and KTaO 3 . Comparative analysis is performed for the threshold power of the excitation of temperature oscillations and the threshold power of the ponderomotive parametric excitation of acoustic oscillations in the resonator. It is shown that in three-mode regime, temperature oscillations can develop under a rather moderate pump power of about 0.1-8 µW, depending on the combination of interacting temperature and electromagnetic modes. The calculated low threshold powers allow one to apply resonators in practice as high-sensitivity infrared sensors, resonant bolometers, and parametric amplifiers.
