摘要
We study experimentally and numerically the second-harmonic Cerenkov emission with two different characteristic azimuthal intensity distributions in strontium barium niobate with a random structure of chi(2) nonlinearity. We monitor in situ the Cerenkov emission during domain switching and show that a change of domain size and shape results in a fourfold azimuthal modulation of the Cerenkov cone.
