We investigate noncollinear sum-frequency generation in a time-resolved fluorescence upconversion experiment to eliminate group-velocity mismatch (GVM), a major mechanism that deteriorates time resolution. The noncollinear geometry inherently causes phase-front mismatch (PFM) that also spoils time resolution. The effects of GVM and PFM on the time resolution are studied by numerical calculations and experiments. Based on the investigation, a fluorescence upconversion apparatus with time resolution better than 45 fs (FWHM) is demonstrated.
