Abstract :
Second-harmonic generation (SHG) has been observed in optically poled niobium tellurite glasses doped-with vanadium and/or rare-earth elements. The second-harmonic intensity is enhanced by codoping of vanadium and rare-earth element such as Tb and Pr. The picosecond pulsed laser brings about more intense second-harmonic intensity than the nanosecond pulsed laser.
