摘要: A large second-order nonlinearity [ χ(2)~1 pm/V~0.2 χ22(2) for LiNbO3] is induced in the near-surface (~4 μm) region of commercial fused-silica optical flats by a temperature (250–325°C) and electric-field (E ~ 5 × 104 V/cm) poling process. Once formed, nonlinearity, which roughly 103–104 times larger than that found fiber second-harmonic experiments, extremely stable at room laboratory ambient. The can be cycled repeated depoling (temperature only) repoling electric field) processes without history effects. Possible mechanisms, including nonlinear moieties electric-field-induced nonlinearities, are discussed.
