Temporal and spectral studies of large χ2 in fused silica

A temperature/static electric field poling process for inducing a second-order nonlinearity in fused silica is discussed. Time-resolved measurements support a model of sodium migration leading to a large internal electric field in the bulk fused silica. In addition, UV- photoluminescence studies suggest dipole orientation as another possible mechanism.
