title: Bandwidth increase by controlled angular dispersion of signal beam in optical parametric amplification.
abstract: Angular dispersion of the signal beam inside the nonlinear media is introduced to improve the non-collinear phase-matching range. Simulations run for BBO crystals predict that bandwidth increase is possible for most of the application spectral range and that it can surpass one order of magnitude in some particular configurations.
