Abstract :
The evolution of three-wave mixing processes can be controlled with aperiodic QPM structures. We describe underlying concepts, engineering of spectral amplitude and phase, and adiabatic processes, illustrated with examples including few-cycle OPCPA, octave spanning frequency combs, and quantum frequency conversion.
