OPTICAL NONLINEARITY MATERIAL AND PRODUCTION METHOD THEREFOR

摘要

Voltage is applied between electrodes (14a, 14b) under UV irradiation to perform a UV excitation poling, thereby producing microcrystal particles at a core unit (10a). Accordingly, second-order optical nonlinearity is developed at the core unit ( 10a ) of an optical fiber ( 10 ) . Under a high-temperature condition, a second-order optical nonlinearity can be imparted by a comparatively low-voltage UV excitation poling when a second-order optical nonlinearity decreases.
