Abstract

Smith and later Liu et al have detailed an analysis of the three wave-mixing ultra-broadband phase matching (PM) condition using the concept of pulse-front tilt (PFT). We applied their model to design an original set-up for high power achromatic fs noncollinear (NC) second harmonic generation (SHG) with PFT in Beta-Barium Borate (BBO) and Lithium Triborate (LBO).
