Abstract

A theory explaining the effects of second harmonic generation and rectification of space-charge waves (SCWs) in both space and time in photorefractive crystals and semi-insulating semiconductors is formulated for the first time. The theory predicts two mechanisms of SCW second harmonic excitation. An experimental technique is proposed for second harmonic detection, and the formulas required for interpreting the experimental results are derived. It is found that the effect of complete rectification of SCWs may lead to a change in the current passing through the sample by tens of percent. The results of calculations are in qualitative agreement with preliminary experimental results.
