The nonlinear microscopy combines the high spatial resolution of a confocal operating microscope with the additional information of polarization-dependent second harmonic generation allowing structure-adjusted characterization of the ferroelectric domain structure. In our study we address the nonlinear signatures of specific ferroelectric domain structures in potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP). Here the nonlinear response exhibit specific signatures, which are linked to the domain structure. A direct correlation with the nonlinear susceptibility tensor can be expected. A detailed nonlinear analysis of the transition area of contrarily poled domains reveals specific signal sequences subject to the polarity. Furthermore a functional dependence on depth of such se-quences was observed. Here an influence of surface charge and inner electric field distribution can be assumed.
