Abstract
A theoretical analysis of a traveling-wave difference-frequency-generation problem in three-dimensional space was performed. We found that, under a suitable hypothesis of low conversion efficiency in anisotropic nonlinear crystals, the nonlinear interaction gives a diffraction-free propagation condition for particular Bessel beams and modulation instability phenomena for other Bessel beams.
