摘要：

We demonstrate that in multi-stage optical parametric amplifiers, spatial and temporal overlap of all products and pump on subsequent passes lead to strongly phase-dependent conversion, which has important consequences for output noise and beam profile characteristics. We verify a simple method to avoid this interferometric process. (C) 1999 Optical Society of America.
