Hj. Liu et al., Phase matching analysis of noncollinear optical parametric process in nonlinear anisotropic crystals, OPT COMMUN, 197(4-6), 2001, pp. 507-514
Phase matching for noncollinear optical parametric generation is investigat
ed. All the possible phase matching configurations and existence conditions
for general noncollinear three-wave mixing interactions are derived for pr
opagation within the crystal principal planes. Numerical expressions for th
e critical phase matching angles are presented wherever possible. Finally,
as an application of these expressions, several numerical calculations of t
he phase matching angles for general noncollinear phase matched optical par
ametric amplification in the nonlinear-optical crystals such as beta -BaB2O
4, LiB3O5 and KTiOPO4 are completed. and the results are graphically presen
