Valley Hughes Research Laboratories,3011Malibu Canyon Road, Malibu, California 90265 Received August 8, 1990; accepted October 25, 1990; manuscript in hand November 30, 1990 A novel transient-grating geometry, which is nondegenerate, copropagating, phase matched, and polarization sensitive, is used to isolate and measure independently the ultrafast dynamics of multiple coexisting gratings in GaAs:EL2 with a temporal resolution of
