Abstract :
A second-order nonlinearity can be induced in optical fibres through poling. We describe accomplishments of the frequency conversion, which can be performed with high EU project GLAMOROUS in making low-cost high performance electrooptic and nonlinear optical fibre- and waveguide-based components. In particular a comparison with more traditional ferroelectric based devices will be presented.
