We investigate the upconversion process of broadband incoherent light generated by parametric downconversion. We focus on the incoherent component of the sum-frequency generated (SFG) radiation, analyzing its spatiotemporal properties. We show that its spectrum has a skewed geometry in space-time, originating from a compensation between the group-velocity mismatch and the spatial walk-off of the fundamental and the SFG fields. The results are illustrated by a theoretical modeling of the optical system and by experimental measurements. (C) 2014 Optical Society of America

Abstract
We investigate the upconversion process of broadband incoherent light generated by parametric downconversion. We focus on the incoherent component of the sum-frequency generated (SFG) radiation, analyzing its spatiotemporal properties. We show that its spectrum has a skewed geometry in space-time, originating from a compensation between the group-velocity mismatch and the spatial walk-off of the fundamental and the SFG fields. The results are illustrated by a theoretical modeling of the optical system and by experimental measurements. (C) 2014 Optical Society of AmericaFile in questo prodotto:
