Abstract
The theoretical description of excitation of anisotropic colour centres under the action of ultrashort laser pulses in a birefringent crystal is considered. Peculiarities of spaceperiodic modulation phenomena caused by nonsteadiness of excitation have been studied. It is shown that space-periodic modulation is observed under conditions of overlap of ordinary and extraordinary pulse components. Possible ways of utilizing this phenomenon in new methods of ultrashort pulse duration measurement and determination of the orientation of anisotropic quantum systems in crystals are discussed.
