Spheres and cylinders in parametric nonlinear optics

We show how crystals cut as spheres or cylinders lead to new approaches in the field of optical frequency conversion. This article is a review of our research dealing with the advantage of these curve geometries for the conception of new methods of optical characterization and new tunable parametric...

Summary:We show how crystals cut as spheres or cylinders lead to new approaches in the field of optical frequency conversion. This article is a review of our research dealing with the advantage of these curve geometries for the conception of new methods of optical characterization and new tunable parametric devices.
