Abstract

In this study, we have investigated the photoinduced birefringence(PB), ${\Delta}n$ in chalcogenide $As_{40}Ge_{10}Se_{15}S_{35}$ thin film with a He-Ne Laser at 633nm as In this study, we have investigated the photoinduced birefringence(PB), ${\Delta}n$ in chalcogenide $As_{40}Ge_{10}Se_{15}S_{35}$ thin film with a He-Ne Laser at 633nm as a pumping beam and a semiconductor laser at 780nm as a probing beam. The PB for the variable thickness of thin films was investigated. The thickness of the thin films is about $0.4{\mu}m$, $0.92{\mu}m$, $1.4{\mu}m$, $2.0{\mu}m$, respectively. The experimental result of PB in chalcogenide thin films was represented higher PB in the thickness of thin film, $0.92{\mu}m$. It was meant to represent higher PB in the thickness of the film that was made closely the optimal thickness, $0.96{\mu}m$. The optimal thickness of thin film, $0.96{\mu}m$ was calculated by the penetration depth of the pumping light Also, the PB in thickness of $0.92{\mu}m$ was obtained almost two times higher 0.15 than other thickness of thin films.
