Effect of core-cladding interface on thermal poling germano-silicate optical waveguides
Effect of core-cladding interface on thermal poling germano-silicate optical waveguides
We report on the effect of the interface between silica and germano-silicate glass during thermal poling of optical waveguides. By measuring the depth of the nonlinear region, using the Maker's fringes technique combined with etching in hydrofluoric acid, we conclude that the germania-doped layer acts as a barrier for the migration of cations at standard poling temperature and voltage. It is also found that the problem can be circumvented by poling at higher temperature and voltage, e.g. 320°C and 8 kV.

Abstract
We report on the effect of the interface between silica and germano-silicate glass during thermal poling of optical waveguides. By measuring the depth of the nonlinear region, using the Maker's fringes technique combined with etching in hydrofluoric acid, we conclude that the germania-doped layer acts as a barrier for the migration of cations at standard poling temperature and voltage. It is also found that the problem can be circumvented by poling at higher temperature and voltage, e.g. 320°C and 8 kV.
