Vectoral and scalar photoinduced effects in chalcogenide glasses

The difference between scalar and vectoral photoinduced effects in chalcogenide glasses is clarified on a microscopic level. The results of recent work are summarized and a model for the vectoral effect of photoinduced anisotropy, based on light-stimulated re-orientation of valence alternation pairs, is further developed.
