ABSTRACT:
The combination of a resonator having total internal reflection with a coupler providing coupling via frustrated total internal reflection. Both linear and non-linear embodiments are described. The linear embodiment is a spectrum analyzer. The non-linear embodiment is a second harmonic generator, although modifications are described for turning the same into an optical parametric oscillator.
