In this study, we have investigated the photoinduced birefringence of Ag plarized-photodoping in double-layer of Ag doped chalcognide thin films and dependence of polarization states in chalcogenide thin films. Also, we have investigated the polarization dependence of photoinduced birefringence and the anisotropy of absorption in an amorphous As$\sub$40/Ge$\sub$10/Se$\sub$15/S$\sub$35/ chalcogenide thin films using two 632.8nm He-Ne lasers, which have a smaller energy than the optical energy gap (E$\sub$OP/) of the film, i.e., an exposure of sub-bandgap light (hν$\sub$op/). The photoinduced phenomena of Ag polarized-photodooping increasing the linear dichroism(d), about 84% and birefringence(Δn), about 23%. It will offer lots of information for the photodoping mechanism and analysis of chalcogenide thin films.

We have investigated the photoinduced birefrinence by the electric field effects in chalcogenide thin films. The electric field effects have investigated the various applied bias voltages(forward and reverse) in chalcogenide thin films. A pumping (inducing) and a probing bean were using a linearly polarized He-Ne laser light (633nm) and semiconductor laser light (780nm), respectively. The result was shown that the birefringence had a higher value in DC +2V than the others, Also, we obtained the birefringence in the electric field effects by various voltages. In addition, we have discussed the anisotropy property of chalcogenide thin films by the electric field effects.

In this study, we observed the photoinduced birefringence of Ag polarized-photodoping in chalcogenide thin film and the double-layer of Ag doped chalcogenide thin film using the irradiation with the polarized He-Ne laser light. The photoinduced birefringence of Ag polarized-photodoping results in increasing the sensitivity of linearly anisotropy intensity and birefringence(${\Delta}n$). The Ag polarized-photodoping shows improvement of the photoinduced anisotropy property, in polarized photodoping of the chalcogenide thin film. It will offer lots of information for the photodoping mechanism and analysis of chalcogenide thin film.

Photoresponsive side chain polymers containing aminonitro azobenzene were synthesized for studying optically induced birefringence. Four different copolymers were prepared using methacrylate, a-methylstyrene, and itaconate monomer. Two copolymers are totally amorphous and the other two are liquid crystalline in nature. Trans-to-cis photoisomerization was observed under the exposure of UV light with UV-VIS absorption spectroscopy. Reorientation of polar azobenzene molecules induced optical anisotropy under a linearly polarized light at 532 nm. The dynamic parameters of optically induced birefringence let us compare the effect of polymeric structure on the rate of growth and decay of the birefringence. Besides the effect of glass transition temperature on the dynamics of photoinduced birefringence, we focused our interests on the geometrical hindrance of polar azobenzene molecules and cooperative motion of environmental mesogenic molecules in the vicinity of polar azobenzene moiety.

The photoisomerization of the crosslinked and uncrosslinked polymer-pair with azo linkages was studied by the photoinduced birefringence. The amount of photoinduced birefringence of crosslinked polymer system was much smaller than that of uncrosslinked polymer system, even when varying pumping laser power, so the photoisomerization of an azo chromophores could be controlled by crosslinking process.

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.

We synthesized the photoresponsive side chain polymers containing aminonitro azobenzene for studying the effect of temperature on photoinduced birefringence. Four different copolymers were prepared using methacrylate, α-methylstyrene, and itaconate monomer. Photoisomerization was observed under the exposure of UV light using UV-VIS absorption spectroscopy. Reorientation of polar azobenzene molecules induced optical anisotropy under a linearly polarized light at 532 nm. The change of the birefringence was observed with increasing the sample temperature under a continuous irradiation of excitation light. We could estimate the activation energy of molecular motion in thermal and photochemical mode. Besides the effect of glass transition temperature on the activation energy, we focused our interests on the effect of geometrical hindrance of polar azobenzene molecules and cooperative motion of environmental mesogenic molecules in the vicinity of polar azobenzene molecules.

여러 광기록 매질 중 아조(azo)계열의 색소를 첨가한 고분자 필름은 색소의 선택에 따라 원하는 감광 파장대를 선택할 수 있는 특징과 뛰어난 메모리 휘발성, 편광 선택이 가능한 점, 높은 환경적 안정성 때문에 1986년 Todorow 그룹이 아조색소를 함유한 고분자 필름의 광유도 비등방성에 관한 논문을 발표한 이래 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 아조계열 색소분자는 PVA 고분자 매트릭스(matrix)속에서 trans 혹은 cis이성질체 중 하나의 상태로 존재할 수 있으나 trans 상태는 cis 상태보다 안정한 상태이므로 광이 없을 때는 대부분 trans 상태로 존재하게 된다.

A multiplex recording and reading technique in photopolymer are presented In order to record the polarization gratings, polarization-sensitive materials, in which linear birefringence is induced by irradiating the polarized light, are necessary. We checked orthogonal and independence of laser. The value of the photoinduced linear polarization had effect on diffraction properties in the holographic gratings. The grating strengths of two polarization are investigated and the relevant parameters for equal diffraction intensity readout are optimized.
