Difference-frequency generation with quantum-limited efficiency in triply-resonant nonlinear cavities

We present a comprehensive study of second-order nonlinear difference frequency generation in triply resonant cavities using a theoretical framework based on coupled-mode theory. We show that optimal “quantum-limited” conversion efficiency can be achieved at any pump power when the powers at the pum...
