Dye lasers with bleaching wave (LBW) are the first condensed state lasers where the restriction on energy and duration of optical exciting pulses are practically removed. This gives an opportunity to create tunable lasers in the visible range with average powers significantly higher than that of any available laser of this type. Physical principles and current experimental results along with prospects of future LBW development are presented.
