Micro-Structuring The Surface Reactivity Of A Borosilicate Glass Via Thermal Poling

Keywords

Micro-patterning; Surface reactivity; Thermal poling

Abstract

Thermal poling was proven successful to induce second order nonlinear properties and concurrent modification of composition, structure and chemical reactivity in glasses. With current efforts to reduce devices sizes in components employing such attributes, means to control changes at the micrometer scale are needed. We present a micro-imprinting poling process to locally tailor surface properties of a glass. Measurements using infrared, Raman and second harmonic generation microscopies confirm that changes in glass structure associated with an induced static electric field are responsible for the enhanced surface reactivity that is successfully controlled at the micrometer scale.
