摘要
We demonstrate that scanning second-harmonic microscopy with a mode-locked laser can be used as a non destructive technique to image ferroelectric domain structures with micron resolution in both lateral and axial directions. This method is expected to have significant impact particularly on the further development of nonlinear optical bulk and waveguide devices with periodically poled ferroelectric crystals.
