2007 European Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics and the International Quantum Electronics Conference, 2007

Abstract

Photoinduced optical anisotropy of azobenzene-containing polymers has emerged as a source of exciting optical phenomena with a range of potential applications. Here we show that the benefits of the guest-host and covalently-linked systems can be combined by exploiting specific non-covalent interactions between the dye molecules and the polymer host. More precisely, hydrogen bonding between the dye and the polymer host
