Title :
Charge distribution in glasses exposed to intense bichromatic fields: controlling electronic transport properties with light
Author :
Lawandy, Nabil M.
Abstract :
A charge-selective etching process has been developed to directly map the trapped electron charge distribution in silicate glasses simultaneously exposed to fields at 532 nm and 1.06 μm. These measurements resulted in charge distributions responsible for second harmonic generation which are inconsistent with the predictions made by theories with a single directional flux
