I. Rousseau et al., Extended sphere method for complete investigation of the phase-matching properties of sum- and difference-frequency generation, APPL OPTICS, 38(36), 1999, pp. 7406-7408
We demonstrate the feasibility of a complete experimental investigation of
the phase-matching properties of sum- and difference-frequency generation i
n a single crystal cut as a sphere over its entire transparency range. The
class of the studied crystal is the only initial data that is required. Thi
s feasibility study was carried out with rubidium titanyl arsenate. (C) 199
