Abstract
There is disclosed second-order nonlinear glass material wherein a part having second-order nonlinearity contains Ge, H and OH and has second-order nonlinear optical constant d of 1 pm/V or more, and a method for producing second-order nonlinear glass material comprising treating a porous glass material containing Ge with hydrogen, sintering it and subjecting it to a ultraviolet poling treatment. There can be provided second-order nonlinear glass material having second-order nonlinearity which is a sufficiently high and has a sufficiently long lifetime for a practical purpose, in use of the glass material for optical functional elements or the like.
