Communication: Polyelectrolyte glasses , composed of cationic polymers and anionic dyes have several advantages over traditionally prepared intrinsicly dyed optical glasses for linear‐(LO) and nonlinear optical (NLO) applications. Very high dye concentrations canb e achieved, homogeneous distribution of the dye results in high‐quality glasses, a large variety of LO‐ and NLO‐active counterieons are available, and the glasses are easily processed. The preparation and testing of the new materials is described.
