Abstract

We report new experimental results concerning self-organized nonlinear optical interactions in optical fibers. A self-organized parametric down conversion was observed if the second-harmonic seeding radiation had been above the saturation level. If furthermore increasing the second-harmonic input power a nearly total photoinduced reflectivity for the second-harmonic green light and about 50% reflectivity for the fundamental infrared radiation were observed.
