Abstract
In dispersive media the bandwidths of generated sum- or difference-fre quency pulses can be greatly enlarged by use of previously chirped gen erating waves. It is shown that this technique is even more advantageo us for shorter pulses and at a higher dispersion regime of the crystal . Experimental examples are also discussed.
