A new phenomenological model of self-organized second-harmonic generation is proposed describing the photoinduced χ(2) grating formation as a cumulative third-order nonlinearity via a complex χ(2) encoding function being dependent upon the light intensities of fundamental and second-harmonic writing radiations. The theoretical results attained are confronted with recent experimental measurements by Lambelet and Feinberg and the χ(2) encoding function is constructed for this special case.
