Ferroelectric oxides stand out due to their excellent nonlinear optical properties and strong electro-optic effect, which offer promising applications as electro-optical modulators. Second harmonic generation (SHG) as a nonlinear optical probe is a powerful tool for studying ferroelectric switching, since it gives direct insight into the domain state in the material. In this work, we report on SHG measurements on Ba_xSr_1−xTiO₃/La_0.7Sr_0.3MnO₃ (BSTO/LSMO), x = 0.15 − 0.5, multilayers grown on SrTiO₃ substrates by means of metalorganic aerosol deposition (MAD). The voltage characteristics of SHG-signal prove ferroelectric hysteretic behavior at room temperature with switching fields in the range of 100 kV/cm. A detailed study of ferroelectric properties will be given as a function of magnetic field, B = 0 − 1 T. This work was supported by IFOX of the European Community’s 7th Framework Programme.
