Abstract
Voltage is applied between electrodes (14a, 14b) under UV irradiation to perform a UV excitation poling, thereby producing microcrystal particles at a core unit (10a). Accordingly, second-order optical nonlinearity is developed at the core unit (10a) of an optical fiber (10). Under a high-temperature condition, a second-order optical nonlinearity can be imparted by a comparatively low-voltage UV excitation poling when a second-order optical nonlinearity decreases.
