Zusammenfassung:Thermal poling of sodium borophosphate niobium glasses, previously coated with a thin silver layer micropatterned by femtosecond laser irradiation, is demonstrated. The field-assisted ion-exchange process for fabricating planar surface in this glass substrate is analyzed. Inside the silver ablated lines obtained by femtosecond laser irradiation, we clearly observe a change in the distribution of the frozen electrostatic field that is modulated by the Ag + / Na + ion-exchange process during the thermal poling.
