Brief comparative review of properties of azobenzene dye containing polymers and amorphous chalcogenide films is presented. A considerable array of experimental data describing different aspects of photostimulated transformations, which manifest themselves in changes in optical and mechanical properties of these materials, is analyzed. Changes caused by orientation (anisotropy) at photoexcitation are discussed. Prominence is given to detected surprising coincidences and, vice versa, essential differences in properties changes of these two types of amorphous media under the action of polarized light.
