A photonic device is disclosed which has higher order harmonic emissions. A pump source is adapted to emit a laser beam at a source frequency and to have a power output of less than approximately 100 Watts. A micro-cavity resonator, which is adapted to exhibit inversion symmetry, is optically coupled to the pump source to receive light from the laser beam. The micro-cavity resonator emits light at an emission frequency while light is received from the laser beam, where the emission frequency is approximately three or more times the source frequency.
