We study theoretically the instabilities induced by a linearly polarized
ordinary light wave incident at a small oblique angle on a thin layer of
homeotropically oriented nematic liquid crystal with special emphasis on the
dye-doped case. The spatially periodic Hopf bifurcation that occurs as the
secondary instability after the stationary Freedericksz transition is analyzed.
