Abstract: | We present a brief review of non-linear optical investigations on dye-doped solids using low-power CW lasers. After a brief introduction to the photophysics of the dye molecules, we discuss specific nonlinear processes such as self-diffraction, optical phase conjugation, two-beam coupling and polarization gratings in these systems. The application potential of dye-doped solid devices is discussed. |
