Micro-structured second harmonic generation responses have been achieved on borophosphate niobium glasses by thermal poling using micro-patterned silicon substrates. The poling imprinting process has created sub-micrometer sized patterns of both surface relief and second order optical responses on the anode glass surface. Field enhancement effects within the micro structured electrode are believed to govern the charge density on the glass surface during the process and thus amplitudes of both implemented electric field and Maxwell stresses.
