Abstract :
Summary form only given. Quasi-phasematching (QPM) has evolved into a widely used technique in nonlinear optics. This tutorial covers the fundamentals of QPM, the status of microstructured materials, use in conventional frequency conversion applications, and novel applications in areas such as spatial and temporal pulse shaping and optical signal processing.
