Nonlinear Parametric Generation in Birefringent Poled Fibers
Conventional step-index silica fibers do not possess a second-order optical nonlinearity due to symmetry concerns. However, through the process of poling, the generation of a frozen-in DC field $E^{DC}$, and in turn, a non-zero second-order nonlinearity $\chi^{(2)} = 3\chi^{(3)}E^{DC}$, can be crea...
