Abstract
We propose coupled-cavity resonators for four-wave mixing (FWM) that support strong nonlinear interaction between distributed pump, signal and idler modes, yet allow independent coupling of these modes to separate ports. We demonstrate seeded FWM and discuss applications of such orthogonal coupling.
