Molecular orientations in azopolymer holographic diffraction gratings as studied by Raman confocal microspectroscopy
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to analyze molecular orientations in azopolymer holographic diffraction gratings by Raman confocal microspectroscopy. Thin films were made by spin coating a chloroform solution of the copolymer onto a microscope glass substrate. The Labram I microspectrometer was utilized to record the Raman spectra. Results indicated that the corresponding entropy distribution functions were different in several regions of the grating.

Azopolymer holographic diffraction gratings: time dependent analyses of the diffraction efficiency, birefringence, and surface modulation induced by two linearly polarized interfering beams
Article Abstract:
Experiments were conducted to investigate the diffraction efficiency, birefringence, and surface modulation azopolymer films of p(DR1M-co-MMA) with a 12% mole fraction of DR1M. Parallel and perpendicular linearly polarized pump beams under low irradiances were used to record the holographic diffraction gratings. Results indicated that a nearly pure birefringence grating always form at short irradiation time.
