Abstract
In this paper, the coupling mechanism of a free-space Gaussian beam into a whispering-gallery mode resonator through a dielectric lens is mathematically modeled and numerically solved by means of the Schelkunoff-Waterman method (the so called T-matrix method). This approach allows in principle, to quickly analyze the performance of different near-field coupling mechanisms with arbitrary excitations. The aim is to efficiently excite a WGM into a nonlinear dielectric resonator in order to detect the weak mm-wave radiation from the cosmic microwave background (CMB) by up-converting the signal into the optical domain via the nonlinearity of the medium.
