Abstract
In this paper we discuss theoretical aspects of achieving ultrahigh Q-factors in crystalline whispering gallery mode (WGM) resonators as well as peculiarities of parametric frequency conversion, low threshold parametric oscillations based on degenerate four-wave mixing, photorefractivity, and thermo-optical instabilities observed in the resonators.
