Abstract
Induced noncolinear frequency doubling (INCFD) is presented as a new c haracterization technique for electro-optic crystals. Using the intera ction of two noncolinear laser beams for the generation of second harm onic light, the method yields a three-dimensional spatial resolution. First experimental results of INCFD measurements on composition gradie nts in lithium niobate and on the spatial orientations of 90 degrees-d omain walls in potassium niobate are shown.
