摘要
It is suggested that three-wave parametric fluorescence in optically anisotropic crystals, e.g. KDP, may be used to generate high intensity (greater-than-or-equal-to 1 GW/cm3), broad-bandwidth (DELTAlambda/lambda less-than-or-equal-to 5-10%) light with small divergence (less-than-or-equal-to 100 murad) in the near infrared to midvisible spectral regions. Larger fractional bandwidths and shorter wavelengths may be achieved by modification of crystal optical properties and harmonic conversion or sum frequency generation, respectively.
