Description/Abstract
Thermal poling freezes an intense static electric field (Edc) in glass resulting in a permanent second-order nonlinearity via a rectification process: chi(2) = 3chi(3)Edc. The low third-order nonlinearity limits the chi(2) of silica glass to 0.7 pm/V. Hence, poling of high chi(3) glasses offers an attractive route towards glass based integrated electro-optical modulators and frequency converters for which chi(2) of the order of 5 pm/V or higher would be desirable
