Noncritical Phase Matching

A technique of Phase Matching which does not require a critical angular adjustment.

The interacting beams are aligned so that they propagate along some AXIS of the Birefringent nonlinear crystal. The phase mismatch is minimized by adjusting the crystal temperature so that the phase velocities of the interacting beams are equal.
