Abstract
Polarized Raman spectra collected from a diffraction-limited spatial volume constitute a versatile scanning probe. Polarization selection rules for Raman scattering in crystals provide a signature of local symmetry and orientation. Making use of this, I demonstrate orientation-resolved domain mapping in tetragonal strontium titanate (SrTiO3) and discuss the relevance of this technique to the study of electronic materials exhibiting emergent spatial inhomogeneity. In Second-order nonlinear optical susceptibility is forbidden to dipole order in inversion-symmetric media, however this rule can be broken with an applied DC electric field. Historically known as electric field induced second harmonic (EFISH) generation, this effect can be understood as four-wave mixing between three optical electric fields and one DC electric field. The dense integration of microelectronic devices with optical waveguides available in CMOS photonics enables strong EFISH using relatively modest voltages and periodically-poled DC electric fields for quasi-phase- matched three-wave mixing. I will discuss device design and characterization efforts aimed at developing on-chip optical parametric oscillators and up-conversion detectors for mid- infrared light.
