    Abstract: A method includes receiving input light having an input wavelength in a first optical resonator for causing resonance of the input light in the first optical resonator. The first optical resonator includes a non-linear optical medium. The method also includes converting at least a portion of the input light to a combination of first output light having a first output wavelength that is different from the input wavelength and second output light having a second output wavelength that is different from the input wavelength and the first output wavelength by passing the input light through the non-linear optical medium. The method further includes causing resonance of the first output light and the second output light in a second optical resonator. A portion of the first optical resonator is coupled to a portion of the second optical resonator.
