DC Voltage Induces Quadratic Optical Nonlinearity in Ion-Exchanged Glasses at Room Temperature
We demonstrate that applying DC voltage at room temperature to an ion-exchanged glass induces quadratic optical nonlinearity in a subsurface region of the glass. We associate this with the EFISH (Electric-Field-Induced Second Harmonic) effect due to the Maxwell–Wagner charge accumulation in the subs...
