Abstract
Pulsed light is irradiated to an amorphous base material, to produce therein one or more single crystals or polycrystals having nonlinear characteristic advantageous for light communication and laser technique. An external field such as electric field or magnetic field may be applied to the amorphous material, or a seed crystal or crystalline substrate may be used to promote crystallization from a contact interface between the amorphous material and the seed crystal or crystalline substrate.
