Abstract
Large structural modifications in v-SiO2 are found to be induced by “thermal poling,” a treatment which makes the glass act as a frequency doubler of an impinging infrared light. The electron diffraction patterns of poled silica plates reveal the presence of a large amount (of order 10%) of crystallites showing patterns consistent with partial crystallization of the glassy matrix into the cristobalite polymorph of silica.
