Abstract
An optical parametric circuit including an optical coupler including a first output port and a second output port, and a nonlinear loop mirror on which an optical path which connects the first output port and the second output port is formed, in which the nonlinear loop mirror includes an optical dispersive medium and a second-order optical nonlinear medium through which the optical path passes, and in which an order of placement of the optical dispersive medium and the second-order optical nonlinear medium on the optical path in one direction from the first output port to the second output port is the reverse of an order of placement of the optical dispersive medium and the second-order optical nonlinear medium on the optical path in another direction from the second output port to the first output port.
