Abstract
In recent years, thermal poling of silica-based glasses has been shown to create permanent second-order nonlinearities (SON) of the order of 1 pm/V in bulk glass [1] and 0.2 pm/V in thermally poled optical fibre [2]. Despite the reproducibility and stability of the effect, the underlying mechanism has still not been fully elucidated.
