Abstract
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 ted.
