Abstract
A photonic device comprises a plurality of resonators and a plurality of optical channels. Each resonator from the plurality of resonators has a set of resonance frequencies independently selected from a set of resonance frequencies of each remaining resonator from the plurality of resonators. Each resonator from the plurality of resonators lacks substantially any linear coupling between each remaining resonator from the plurality of resonators. The plurality of resonators defines a spatial overlap region between at least two resonators from the plurality of resonators such that nonlinear optical processes are substantially optimized during operation. A plurality of optical channels is operatively coupled to the plurality of resonators. The plurality of optical channels is configured to receive light from the plurality resonators and configured to send light into the plurality of resonators.
