Abstract

Photorefractive film of low Tg polymer composites of poly(N-vinylcarbazole): N-(4-nitrophenyl)-(l)-prolinol: 2,4,7-trinitro-9-fluorenone: N-ethylcarbazol was fabricated at a weight ratio of PVK:NPP:TNF:ECZ = 35:50:1:15 wt.%. Two-beam-coupling (TBC) experiment and four-wave mixing experiment were performed at wavelength of 633 nm. A reversible photorefractive grating and an irreversible grating, were observed and distinguished. The TBC coefficient was measured to be 140 cm-1 at E0 = 85 V/μm, corresponding to a photorefractive grating of 3.6×10-3. The irreversible grating was measured to be about 7×10-3, which was attributed to the NPP aggregation.
