Abstract

Thin layers of silica have been removed from thermally poled samples using a hydrofluoric acid etching. After each etching, the second-harmonic signal generated within the remaining glass has been recorded by means of a Maker fringes experiment. Evidence of a sign reversal within the nonlinear distribution is pointed out for 10-min poled Infrasil™ samples.
