Formation of spatially localized self-trapping light structures in Plexiglas-based photopolymers

摘要

The possibility of the generation of light self-trapping structures in polymeric media based on polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) with homogenously distributed photosensitive phenanthrenequinone (PQ)-molecules is predicted theoretically and examined experimentally by applying laser sources in the blue-green spectral range.
