Abstract

We describe second harmonic generation in silica based optical fibers as a function of time and the preliminary explanations published so far in the literature. The latter deal essentially with the electromagnetic aspect of the phenomenon. By a different way of analysis (closer to material science), we emphasize on the structural defects active in this non-linear property.

Analyse

On presente les caracteristiques temporelles du doublage de frequence dans les fibres optiques en verre de silice dopee et les interpretations preliminaires qui en ont ete donnees. Celles-ci se limitent a I’heure actuelle aux caracteres electromagnetiques du pheno-mene. Par une analyse differente du phenomene, plus proche du materiau, les auteurs tentent de degager quelques caracteristiques des defauts de structure pouvant etre impliques.
