Electric surface potential and frozen-in field direct measurements in thermally poled silica

Electric surface potential and frozen-in field direct measurements in thermally poled silica
Electric surface potential and frozen-in field direct measurements in thermally poled silica
We report measurements of the electric surface potential (SP) and its temporal evolution in thermally poled silica samples, thus, providing a direct quantitative evidence of the frozen-in voltage. The SP value is found to be directly related to the voltage across the depletion layer and there is a clear link between frozen-in electric field and nonlinear optical coefficient, inferred from SP and second harmonic generation measurements respectively. Our studies also show the presence of screening surface charge layers. We have calculated the space charge distribution making evident that the thinner the sample, the larger the screening surface charge density.

Abstract

We report measurements of the electric surface potential (SP) and its temporal evolution in thermally poled silica samples, thus, providing a direct quantitative evidence of the frozen-in voltage. The SP value is found to be directly related to the voltage across the depletion layer and there is a clear link between frozen-in electric field and nonlinear optical coefficient, inferred from SP and second harmonic generation measurements respectively. Our studies also show the presence of screening surface charge layers. We have calculated the space charge distribution making evident that the thinner the sample, the larger the screening surface charge density.
