Abstract
Evidence that a frozen-in space charge field causes the appearance of high quadratic nonlinearities in thermally poled glass is obtained fro m experimental tests of the ratio of nonlinear tensor components and t he spatial distribution of the induced chi(2). A mechanism to explain the fixation of the chi(2) near the anodic surface is proposed.
