Abstract: A fast (transient) component of the photoinduced quadratic (second-order) susceptibility was observed in a glass doped with CdS_xSe_1-x semiconductor microcrystallites. The experimental results, obtained by a new method involving counterpropagating write and read pulses, confirmed the photogalvanic nature of the effect.
