Abstract

A scheme is proposed by which the phase matching bandwidth can be increased by adjusting higher-order terms in frequency shift in the phase-matching condition. This is achieved by introducing a spectral angular dispersion so that the different spectral components propagate at their phase-matching angles. This is equivalent to canceling the group velocity mismatch. The equations describing the requirements on the angular dispersion are discussed and applied to the particular case of type I phase matching. A possible experimental setup is shown that would meet all the conditions required.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
