Abstract
We herein report the comparison of two independent reconstructions of the distribution of the χ(2) nonlinear susceptibility induced by thermal poling in planar silica samples. Both nonlinear profiles are quantitatively in good agreement in terms of χ(2) magnitude and nonlinear thickness; and qualitatively in agreement in terms of shape. We conclude that both characterization methods used are efficient for the determination of the χ(2) susceptibility spatial distribution in bulk samples.
