1. A method of pumping an optical resonator, comprising:
- generating light by a pumping light source;
directing the light at the optical resonator, wherein the optical resonator comprises;
a photonic crystal; and
a material, wherein an interface is formed between the photonic crystal and the material; and
exciting a propagating surface state of the optical resonator at the interface of the optical resonator; and
changing a propagating frequency of the light proximate the interface, wherein the changed frequency corresponds to a propagation frequency of the surface state.

Abstract
A method of pumping an optical resonator includes directing light generated by a pumping light at the optical resonator, exciting a propagating surface state of the optical resonator at an interface of the optical resonator, and changing a propagating frequency of the light proximate the interface, where the changed frequency corresponds to a propagation frequency of the surface state. The optical resonator includes a photonic crystal and a material, where the interface is formed between the photonic crystal and the material.
