A Raman- scattering- suppressing input/ output coupling scheme has been devised for a whispering-gallery- mode optical resonator that is used as a fourwave- mixing device to effect an all-optical parametric oscillator. Raman scattering is undesired in such a device because (1) it is a nonlinear process that competes with the desired nonlinear four-wave conversion process involved in optical parametric oscillation and (2) as such, it reduces the power of the desired oscillation and contributes to output noise.
