Giant increase of the second harmonic radiation's absorption during optical poling of oxide glass

Abstract

A giant reversible growth ( 2 lo3 times) of the absorption of second harmonic radiation by optical poling of oxide glass was discovered. The observed absorption exerts an influence on the optical poling process and leads to a restriction of the maximum value of the photoinduced second harmonic generation in oxide glass. A theoretical model of the observed phenomenon is given. The growth of absorption is considered as a result of special anharmonic electron-phonon interactions caused by photoinduced electrostricted phonons. Exploration of the total absorption indicates that the effects of photodarkening do not play a key role in the observed phenomena. Journal of Modem Optics

“…Such behaviour is the result of the appearance of the big absorption of light in gratings with high amplitudes the experimental observation and the result ofthe investigation ofwhich have been presented by us in the work 12 lg,a.U. We made the special experiments to check the polarization, phase and power dependencies of the process of secondharmonic generation in glass and also the special distribution of the generated beam and obtain the good aggriement with our theory.…”

“…However, in contrast to a scattering of light in this case there is the conversion of the fundamental frequency radiation into the second-harmonic radiation on the photoinduced phase grating (2) with the synchronous deviation of the beam of doubled frequency in accordance with the phase synchronism kg2ki+L\k. (12) By using the expressions (9) we show, that there is the equality smnflx/k2_k2a_smna,…”
