Abstract
Microphotoluminescence and second-harmonic microscopy were used to study is lands formed inside phosphate and fluorophosphate optical glasses with full erene dopants. Scanning microphotoluminescence and second-harmonic microsco py indicated that fullerene dopants an subjected to strong influence from t he glass matrix, which causes distortion of molecular symmetry, enhancement of fluorescence, and occurrence of noncentrosymmetry required by the macro scopic second-order optical nonlinearity.
