17. When a near-infrared (NIR) gate wavelength is used, rather than ∼800 nm from the Ti:Sa laser directly, phasematching becomes significantly broader (see Ref. 18) and gate scatter is avoided completely.

20. This was already noted by P. Barbara and coworkers, J. Phys. Chem. 87, 1184 (1983). By adjusting the relative convergence of 1064 nm and fluorescence light in a KDP crystal, they were able to upconvert fluorescence over a 75nm region with Type II crystal tilt angle fixed. However the authors did not pursue this concept. 10.1021/j100230a018
