Abstract

A method is proposed for relaxing the bandwidth restrictions due to dispersion in frequency mixing. An example for the third-harmonic generation of neodymium glass shows that it is possible to significantly reduce and even eliminate the effects of dispersion for the bandwidths required for femtosecond pulses.
