We develop a model able to properly describe a new variety of Optical Parametric Oscillations (OPO's) in some recently realized vertical semiconductor multimicrocavities. Our model shows that, contrary to the case of a conventional single microcavity, the OPO can take place even when the system is brought in the weak light-matter coupling. Our predictions agree qualitatively with experiments, they show some OPO con¯gurations which are peculiar of the weak-coupling and suggest some new experiment. The model clearly shows the need to have a better understanding of Optical Parametric Oscillations in this regime.
