Abstract:
We investigate optical parametric oscillations via four-wave mixing in a
dielectric photonic crystal. Using a fully vectorial 3D timedomain
approach, including both dispersion and Kerr nonlinear polarization, we
analyze the response of an inverted opal. The results demonstrate the
feasibility of parametric sources in isotropic media arranged in
photonic band-gap geometries.
