Optical Properties of Carbazole-Based Photorefractive Polymers

The optical properties of several carbazole-based photorefractive polymers which we prepared were determined. Through analysis of the UV-vis spectrum, the ratio of the azo nitrobenzene was adjusted to control the content of azo chromophore functional components. The solid transient fluorescence emission spectra of the photorefractive polymers were tested with a 325 nm emission wavelength. The results showed that the J-aggregates and several large closed-loop structures formed in the photorefractive polymers resulted in a long lifetime of their transient fluorescence. Spin-orbit coupling among the molecules increased the intersystem crossing rate, and induced delayed fluorescence.

All-Optical Multifunctional Logic Gates for Image Information Using Photorefractive Two-Wave Mixing

In this paper, we propose all-optical multifunctional logic gates for image information using photorefractive (PR) two-wave mixing. The optical setup is simply configured compared with the other all-optical logic gates for image information. The XOR-, OR-, and AND-operation are all-optically performed in the same optical setup through the transitional response of the PR medium. One can switch these logic operations simply by means of the on-off control of the signal and the pump beam illumination. We analyze the spatial distribution of beam intensity in these logic gates using a finite-difference beam propagation method (FD-BPM) and the crosstalk between adjoining pixels is examined from the result. We also experimentally verify that the XOR-, OR-, and AND-gates are realized in the same optical setup.     

All-Optical Switching Based on Azo Polymer Material

Conventional all-optical switches based on azo polymer films and the all-optical switches based on the attenuated total reflection （ATR） geometry are investigated. A conventional switch system, including a pump beam of 532 nm and a probe beam of 650 nm, is based on the photoinduced birefringence effect of azo polymer. An ATR switch in a prism-multilayer configuration is achieved by changing the reflectance of the probe beam with an external pump beam. The ATR method provides the substantial improvement of the speed and the efficiency of the modulation over the conventional method. Although the azo polymer response still remains relatively slow, an enhanced nonlinear refractive index of the azo polymer film can effectively increase the modulation.

Dynamics of the Manakov Solitons in Biased Guest-Host Photorefractive Polymer

In the biased guest-host photorefractive polymer,the Manakov equations can be used to describe the optical soliton propagation and interaction.Hereby for such equations,via the Hirota method and symbolic computation,analytic soliton solutions in the bright-dark and dark-dark forms are obtained.Based on the choice of photorefractive polymer parameter and incident-optical-beam parameter,the bright-dark and dark-dark solitons as well as their interaction can occur in the polymer when the total intensity is much lower than the background illumination,and our analysis indicates that the incident light with different polarization directions influence little on the soliton propagation.γ,representing the soliton intensity far away from the soliton center,determines the appearance of bright or dark soliton under the background illumination.Through the graphic and asymptotic analysis on the two-soliton solutions along with the different γ,we find that there exist the elastic and inelastic interactions between the bright-dark solitons,while the interactions between the dark-dark solitons are always elastic.

Photoinduced Birefringence and Broadband All-Optical Photonic Switch in a Bacteriorhodopsin/Polymer Composite Film

Photoinduced birefringence with large optical nonlinearity in a bacteriorhodopsin/polymer composite film is observed. A high refractive index change of 8.5×10^-5 photoinduced by 476nm pumping beam is reached at the low intensity of 6.5mW/cm². Based on it, a broadband all-optical photonicswitch is realized with an optical controlling switch system. Because of controlling beam's selectivity in switching, the transporting beams of different wavelengths with different intensities and shapes can be modulated by adjusting the wavelength and intensity of the controlling beam.
