Abstract
A numerical model for photoinduced second-harmonic generation in glass is presented. We use the beam-propagation method (BPM) to model the effects of focusing a laser beam and its second harmonic into a bulk sample of glass. The two-color optical field produces asymmetric photoionization, and hence charge separation within the glass. We follow the evolution of the optical fields with the BPM, and compute the distribution of trapped charges in the glass using a directional photoionization source term. The model can predict the shape of the dc electric fields, the underlying charge distributions, and the modal patterns of the generated second-harmonic light. We also include the time dependence of photoinduced nonlinear effects in glass. The mode patterns and dc field shapes agree with published experimental data, confirming the results of this simulation.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
