Abstract
Analysis of Type I second-harmonic generation in the quasi-continuous- wave undepleted-fundamental regime indicates that a constant axial tem perature gradient significantly increases the tuning spectral-bandwidt h for fixed crystal orientation. The conversion efficiency spectral di stribution is analogous to the light intensity spatial distribution in single-slit diffraction.
