Abstract
The formation of spontaneous gratings induced by a polarized laser bea m in thin photosensitive AgCl waveguide films, doped by Ag, was studie d by means of small-angle scattering. It is shown that small-angle sca ttering is determined by the domain structure of the spontaneous grati ngs and arises because of the re-emission of waveguide modes by neighb ouring domains. The instability and reorganization of the gratings hav e been found and studied upon the change of the azimuth of the laser b eam polarization.
