Optically modified second harmonic generation in silicon oxynitride thin films via local layer heating

Abstract Strong second harmonic generation (SHG) in silicon nitride has been extensively studied—among others, in terms of laser-induced SHG enhancement in Si3N4 waveguides. This enhancement has been ascribed to the all-optical poling induced by the coherent photogalvanic effect. Yet, an analogous p...
