Second-harmonic (SH) microscopy is a very power tool for investigating material properties and noninvasively visualising domains and domain walls in ferroelectic materials [1,2]. Contrary to the conventional assumption when working with a confining structure such as a thin film, the co-propagating phase matched SH signal may also be detected in back-reflection. Interference effects further affect the SH response. Therefore understanding the effects of geometrical confinement is necessary.
We performed SH experiments on wedge-shaped samples of 5% Mg-doped congruent Lithium tantalate, un-polled & Periodically polled Lithium niobate and compared them with full-vectorial numerical calculations of the SH process [1,3]. We found that the coherent interaction length obtained from the back-reflected SH signal is that of co-propagating phase matched signal. The excellent agreement between the simulated and experimental data confirms that co-propagating signal is detected in back-reflection geometry.
