Current status of studies devoted to thermal poling of multicomponent glasses and related
applications are briefly reviewed. Physical phenomena occurring in the course of the poling …

Measurements of the transient behavior of both the second-harmonic generation signal and
the poling current for type-II fused silica samples under a variety of poling histories are …

Thermal poling of glasses induces structural and compositional modification and breaks
central symmetry of these initially isotropic media. In spite of numerous experimental data …

Soda-lime silicate (SLS) glasses were thermally poled at 230° C-280° C with dc voltages up
to 2kV applied to induce a second-order optical nonlinearity. Accompanying structural …

Compositional and structural modification of the subanodic region of poled soda-lime glass
under secondary heat treatment is studied using secondary ion mass spectrometry and …

1.1 Overview Silica glass is technologically very important, especially in
telecommunications, because of its excellent properties such as strength and the ability to …

Relief diffraction gratings are formed via acidic chemical etching of a periodically poled soda-
lime glass. The thermal poling under 1000 V DC is performed at 325° C using a thermally …

The creation of a second-order nonlinear susceptibility χ (2) in thermally poled silica glasses
is known to be related to positive charge migration. As opposed to currently used models …

Applying a dc electric field across a fused silica sample at elevated temperatures followed
by cooling the sample with the field applied (thermal poling) leads to a second-order …

We have experimentally verified existence of the frozen-in field in thermally poled fiber
devices using a Mach–Zehnder interferometer. This technique can be used to measure both …
