Picosecond laser pulses are used to study the forbidden resonant second harmonic generation (SHG) in atomic vapor. The results can be understood quantitatively by an ionization-initiated dc-field-induced SHG model taking into account the temporal buildup of the dc field and transient behavior of the two-photon coherent excitation of the vapor.
