摘要: We present a method for generating an ultra-broadband spectrum of spontaneous parametric down conversion (SPDC) that is independent the thickness nonlinear crystal, thereby yielding down-converted photons high flux. show bandwidth amplification inherent in SPDC process maximized at wavelength where group-velocity dispersion minimal. Experimental results demonstrating broad produced by this technique are presented.
