In the case of frequencydoubling high\-energy 5\-fs Ti\:sapphire pulses, a non\-collinear phase\-matching I geometry in a b\-barium borate crystal cut at 44 deg is devised that should allow high conversion efficiency, virtually without pulse lengthening and intra\-pulse frequency chirp due to group\-velocity dispersion."]
