Evolution of poling-assisted bleaching of metal-doped nanocomposite glass with poling conditions

Poling-assisted bleaching was studied with respect to poling time, voltage, and temperature in glass samples having a gradient of silver nanoparticles across the depth. The optical extinction band due to the particles’ surface plasmon resonance around 415 nm was measured and the Maxwell– Garnett effective medium theory was used to fit extinction spectra. Fitting allowed us to determine the evol...

Thermal poling of glass modified by femtosecond laser irradiation

Thermal poling of silica glass modified by femtosecond laser irradiation is demonstrated. Increase of second-harmonic generation in the irradiated regions is observed. This enhancement is interpreted in terms of structural modifications in silica glass that make the poling process more efficient. Evidence of a change in the distribution of the electrostatic field frozen in glass during poling i...

Surface Reactivity Control of a Borosilicate Glass Using Thermal Poling

The ability to control glass surface reactivity at different length enables key properties required for future “smart substrates”. Employing a thermal poling process on a specific borosilicate glass composition can yield a surface with tailored physical and chemical properties. This work shows that during poling, alkali contained in the glass matrix migrates from the anode to the cathode side o...
