Abstract
Silica glass plates (Infrasil from Heraeus) have been thermally poled with different types of electrodes (evaporated or pressed-on) having different chemical compositions (Au, Al, n-doped Si or p-doped Si). We show for the first time to our best knowledge that the profile of the induced second-order nonlinearity strongly depends on the composition of electrodes used for the thermal poling process.
