Measurement of the vector character of electric fields by optical second-harmonic generation
Abstract
The effectiveness of optical second-harmonic generation to determine the vector nature of transient electric fields is examined. The method is illustrated by mapping the spatial distribution of the in-plane electric field in a silicon sample.
