We derive a general theory of linear coupling and Kerr nonlinear coupling between modes of dielectric optical resonators from first principles. The treatment is not specific to a particular geometry or choice of mode basis, and can…
We present a method for resolving spatial mode overlaps in coupled microresonators based on Kerr and thermal cross-phase modulation. Through a pump-probe setup, we measure experimental overlap in a three-ring resonator with good agreement…
