The creation of an effective second order nonlinearity via the process of thermal poling in
materials such as glasses, which naturally lack any second order susceptibility, has been …

Thermal poling is a well-known technique for inducing second-order nonlinearities in
centrosymmetric silica optical fibers. However, some 25 years since its discovery, there still …

Thermal poling, a technique to create permanently effective second-order susceptibility in
silica optical fibers, has a suite of applications including frequency conversion and mixing for …

Thermally poled silica fibers are characterized by nonnull second order effective nonlinear
susceptibility and can consequently be exploited for the generation of parametric processes …
