Optical or electrical poling of azo-dye layers — •Ansgar Draude1, Sven Verpoort1, Rafael Meinhardt1, Hilmar Franke1, and Roger A.

Polycrystalline films of the azo-material DR1 have been investigated. After evaporation on glass substrates the molecules are randomly orientated.

The molecules can be reoriented using different technics. Optically transparent regions may be formed either by light exposure using the Trans-Cis photo-isomerization (optical poling) or by an electrical Corona (electrical poling). The optical anisotropy has been measured by the angular dependence of the absorption-coefficient.

Stable holographic gratings may be recorded as well in the randomly oriented as in the pre-oriented regions. Measuring the topology (AFM or profilometer) indicates a relation between orientational order and material flow.
