Vacuum poling: an improved technique for effective thermal poling of silica glass and germanosilicate optical fibres

The use of thermal poling in vacuum to eliminate the spreading out of the poled regions beyond the boundaries of the positive electrode is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. A substantial improvement in reproducibility and quality of the induced second-order susceptibility is achieved.
