摘要
Light amplification due to two-beam coupling is realized in doped polymethyl methacrylate （PMMA） glasses. A coupling gain as large as 14 cm^-1 is obtained. The dynamic behaviour of absorption and light-induced scattering due to the process of photopolymerization are also studied. The results show that the amplification and its dynamic process enable possible applications of PMMA in optical devices.
