Summary edit

Description
English: A schematic of an ionic crystal with no electric field (top) and with an AC electric field (bottom). The blurryness indicates the AC oscillation of the ions. The red arrow indicates optical rectification: The AC electric field not only causes an AC oscillation of the ions, but also a DC shift of the ions' positions, a shift that changes the (time-average) crystal polarization.
