Popis: In this paper we report experiments on the dynamic of self-organized (chi)(2) gratings. An important observation is that the initial growth rate of (chi)(2) gratings is always linear in time. A fast transient and slow fluctuations are also observed in certain cases. The initial growth rate of the grating amplitude as a function of the irradiances of the seeding fundamental ((omega)) and second harmonic (2(omega)) beams was measured and was determined to have a power dependence on I(2(omega)) of exponent 1.48 +/- 0.2, and on I((omega)) of 0.9 +/- 0.2. A model based on selective ionization of dipolar defects due to an interference between two-photon and three-photon processes has been explored in the context of these results.© (1991) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
