Abstract
A doubly resonant electro-optic converter is provided. An optical resonator and a microwave resonator are disposed such that fields from the two resonators can interact in an electro-optic active medium. The optical resonator is a planar photonic crystal optical resonator, and the microwave resonator is at least partially superconducting in operation. The active medium has a second order nonlinearity capable of generating a sum frequency signal and/or a difference frequency signal from the optical and microwave fields. The resulting structure has both quantum and classical applications.
