Abstract

We predict that in traveling-wave degenerate parametric downconversion the Bessel beam pump stimulates the appearance of a nondiffracting X-wave from quantum noise amplification. Numerical simulation results of downconversion in ADP crystal are presented, along with preliminary experimental data.
