    Abstract

    While the perspectives of making 2nd-order nonlinearities in optical glasses are exciting, present poling techniques are still inadequate. When inducing a permanent field Edc in the glass, the effective 2nd-order susceptibility χ(2)=3χ(3)Edc has been limited by the small intrinsic value of χ(3). Here we demonstrate that metal nanoclusters are an attractive means to enhance the χ(3) value. In combination with a built-in dc-field in channel waveguides, effective χ(2) values of more than 14 pm/V are obtained.
