Enhancement of Optical Nonlinearities Via Whispering Gallery Mode SplittingAn iterative method is applied to the analysis of N coupled ring-resonators, and the results are compared with multilayered spheres. Splitting of the whispering gallery modes into N higher-Q modes occurs when the round-trip phase shifts in each ring (or layer) are equal, in agreement with results for planar resonators. This mode-splitting is, therefore, a universal phenomenon for resonant structures, and can lead to reduced thresholds for nonlinear optical effects.
