Method of activating a nonlinear optical element having electrodes on two side surfaces of nonlinear medium through insulating layers

摘要

A nonlinear optical element comprises a nonlinear medium having photoconductivity and an electrooptical effect, a pair of electrodes, arranged on two side surfaces of said nonlinear medium, for applying an electric field to the medium, for serving as reflection mirrors forming an optical resonator, and a pair of insulating layers formed between the nonlinear medium and the electrodes.
