Abstract :
Quasi-matching (QPM) enables a variety of functions for ultrafast optics. Aperiodic QPM structures for tailoring wide mixing bandwidths for pulse shaping, broadband parametric amplification, and ultrasensitive pulse characterization in microstructured ferroelectrics and semiconductors are discussed.
