Abstract
Organic dyes show great potential for the construction of nonlinear optical devices (e.g. for second harmonic generation), for optical data storage, or as artificial light-collecting antenna systems mimicking photosynthesis and other important biological processes. In natural systems, it is the specific interaction between the protein as 'solvent' and the prosthetic group dye molecule which guarantees the excellent performance in a specific function. An introductory note on these potentials is presented.
