Abstract
We report experimental observation of backward sum-frequency generatio n in periodically-poled LiNbO3 resulting from mixing between the forwa rd propagating fundamental beam with the second harmonic beam. Althoug h the forward second harmonic beam itself is not phase-matched, the su m-frequency generation exhibits several phase-matching peaks. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
