M. Nakanishi et al., BLUE-LIGHT GENERATION BY CERENKOV-TYPE 2ND-HARMONIC GENERATION IN THERMALLY POLED SILICATE GLASS THIN-FILM WAVE-GUIDE, JPN J A P 1, 37, 1998, pp. 75-77
We observe a second-order nonlinearity of poled Ge-doped silica thin f
ilm. The origin of nonlinearity and the stability of the nonlinearity
against heat and intense laser light are investigated from poled glass
thin film. We fabricate a frequency doubling device using the silicat
e thin film waveguide, and by Cerenkov-type frequency doubling blue li
ght generation was realized.
