Influence of wavelength of light on photoinduced orientation of azobenzene-containing polymethacrylate film

ABSTRACT Influence of the wavelength of linearly polarized (LP) light on the generation of photoinduced optical anisotropy of _E_- and _Z_-isomers of a polymethacrylate which comprises


4-methoxyazobenzene side groups was investigated using LP 313 nm, 365 nm, 405 nm, 436 nm, 532 nm, and 633 nm lights. Different photoisomerization and molecular reorientation behavior were


observed depending on the wavelength of the light. Large in-plane orientation was achieved by the use of LP 313 and LP 532 nm lights. The ratio of the absorbance between _E_- and _Z_-isomers


plays an important role in the photoinduced orientation behavior. SIMILAR CONTENT BEING VIEWED BY OTHERS WRITING AND READING WITH THE LONGITUDINAL COMPONENT OF LIGHT USING
