Abstract

Recent developments in the application of phase-difference measurements in coherent nonlinear optics are reviewed. Based upon a precise determination of the relevant coherence length, novel experimental procedures such as phase-controlled (nonlinear) interferometry or suppression of unwanted background contribution from different phases are possible. This concept is demonstrated for both sum- and difference-frequency generation for second- and third-order optical processes.
