EFFECT OF THE DIPOLE MOMENT OF AZO CHROMOPHORES ON THE INFORMATION CHARACTERISTICS OF POLYMERIC RECORDING MEDIA FOR POLARIZATION HOLOGRAPHY

摘要

Recording media for polarization holography have been created using copolymers of azobenzene monomers and octyl methacrylate, and the electrophysical and information properties of these materials have been studied. The increase in the diffraction efficiency of holograms in an external electric field has been found to be faster in copolymers with an azo chromophore possessing a larger dipole moment.
