Abstract
Optical second-harmonic generation from a silicon-on-insulator wafer has been investigated over a broad spectral region. The nonlinear signal shows oscillations with wavelengths that depend on the angle of incidence. A number of characteristic structures are caused by linear multiple reflections in the layered structure at the fundamental and second-harmonic wavelengths. Furthermore, an interference between signals generated by second-harmonic sources at different interfaces appears. Possibilities for isolating signals from buried interfaces through variations of pump wavelength and angle of incidence are discussed.
