✦ Synopsis

Polarization optical anisotropy of scattering in solid-state azo-dye films induced by nonlinear absorption has been registered for the first time. Optical anisotropy of scattering has been initiated by sequence of femtosecond pulses and has been detected in solid state nanostructural amorphous thin films formed out of pure azo-dye AD-1. It was found that efficiency of scattering strongly depends on polarization of incident light.
