Abstract :
The authors report on a method for enhancing the operating stability and signal bandwidth of difference-frequency-generation-based wavelength conversion by detuning the pump from the degenerate phase matching wavelength; both can be further enhanced by using nonuniform quasi-phase-matching structures
