Interaction of fundamental, second harmonic and generated static elect
ric fields in Ge-doped silica fibers is considered. Frequency doubling
for stationary conditions is found to be efficient only at the stage
of preparation and is switched off when the fiber is full prepared. If
the phase of the incident fundamental wave varies in time in a proper
way (nonstationary conditions) frequency doubling becomes highly effi
cient and does not decay. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
