Direct Fabrication Methods of Surface Relief Electro-Optic Gratings in Azo-Polymer Films

Two fabrication methods of surface relief electro-optic (EO) gratings in azo-polymer films are described: surface deformation by a continuous wave laser and laser ablation by a pulse laser. In the fabrication process, the periodic intensity modulation of laser beams is formed by an interference fringe or a phase mask. The surface relief EO grating is fabricated by poling the surface relief grating (SRG) after the SRG fabrication process. The linear dependence of an applied voltage in the modulation efficiency of the first-order diffraction beam is observed. The proposed methods are effective for highly-efficient surface relief EO grating fabrication.     

Application of Surface Relief Hologram Using Azobenzene Containing Polymer Film

Replication of the surface relief hologram is also demonstrated. An application for business cards is considered.

Films made of substituted azobenzene polycomplexes with cobalt for polarization holography

We have studied the possibility of recording holograms in films of the 4-methacroyloxy-(4′-carboxy-3′-hydroxy)-2-chloroazobenzene polycomplex with cobalt, with parallel and orthogonal orientation of the light beam polarization. We have shown that these films can be used as recording media for polarization holography. The characteristic features of relaxation of the diffraction efficiency of the holograms are connected with cistrans isomerization of the azobenzene groups and the characteristic features of structural rearrangement in the polymer matrix. We hypothesize that the information-related characteristics of the studied recording media can be controlled by external electric or magnetic fields, due to the presence of magnetic metal ions within the polymer film. __________ Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Spektroskopii, Vol. 74, No. 6, pp. 830–832, November–December, 2007.

Hologram recording in glass and direct reconstruction using visible-wavelength laser beam

We propose a method of hologram recording in a glass plate by corona charging. The holographic recording materials used in this study are conventional soda-lime glass and azobenzene polymer film. A Fourier transform hologram on an azobenzene polymer film coated on the glass plate is recorded in the glass plate by corona charging. After removing the polymer film, the hologram recorded in the plate can be reconstructed using a visible-wavelength laser beam. The first-order diffraction efficiency of the hologram at a wavelength of 532 nm is 0.03%; the efficiency depends on the depth of the surface relief structure on the azobenzene polymer film and the corona-charging time. The hologram recorded in the glass plate has high environmental resistance.
