Abstract There are a great variety of optical nonlinearities that can lead to the phenomenon of laser-induced gratings (LIG) in semiconductors. In the present contribution the dynamic behaviour of an induced absorber with intrinsic bistability is investigated under excitation in a LIG self-diffraction arrangement. Using CdS as a model substance, the comparison of our theoretical model with our experimental findings gives an insight into the nonlinear dynamics of the degenerate carrier system and also an estimation of the transport properties of the electron-hole plasma.
