Generation of permanent optically-induced 2nd order nonlinearities in optical fibres by poling

It is shown that large permanent enhancements in second-order optical nonlinearity can be induced in germanosilicate fibers (both pure and co-doped with P) by application of a transverse dc electric poling field in the presence of high intensity light. The macroscopic inversion symmetry of the core...
