We investigate systematically the evolution of second harmonic generation in strontium barium niobate with different degrees of disorder of its χ2 nonlinearity. These different degrees of disordered domain structures are achieved through electrically switching of the polarization at room temperature. The size and distribution of the domains change during the poling process and this in turn strongly affects the spatial distribution of the second harmonic signal. The degree of disorder can be determined by analyzing the angular distribution and wavelength dependence of the second harmonic emission patterns combined with measurements of the spontaneous polarization. We demonstrate evidence of the control of the second harmonic emission pattern by creating defined states of order, and successfully reproduce the resulting patterns theoretically.
