    Abstract

    Spontaneous parametric down conversion of the femtosecond pulse with a type-I β-barium borate (BBO) crystal was studied experimentally, which induced to the generation of colored conical emission (CCE). The influence of parametrics on the conversion efficiency and the characteristics of CCE was discussed in detail. Experimental results show that the green conical emission has the biggest divergence angle, which is consistent with the calculation results based on the phase matching condition. When the pumped beam is incident on-axis, the intensity of the CCE will become stronger with the increase of the pump intensity and the thickness of crysta, and the center wavelength of the biggest diverging angle conical emission will change toward long wave. CCE and super-continuum emission can also be observed with different polarization directions.
