High second-order nonlinearities in poled silicate fibers.
Effective quadratic nonlinearities as high as 0.2 pm/V are reported for the first time to our knowledge in poled germanosilicate fibers. This value is ~200 times higher than previously achieved in these fibers. The presence of Ge is found to enhance the efficacy of both thermal (in combination with OH doping) and electron-beam poling in silica.
