Abstract

The nonlinear interference accompanying three-photon spontaneous parametric light scattering is considered. The frequency-angle line shape of the scattering is calculated for nonlinear-crystal/ linear-dispersive-medium/nonlinear-crystal and nonlinear-crystal/nonlinear-crystal systems. The question of the possible use of nonlinear interference in spectroscopy is discussed.
