Influence of the Continuous Application of an External DC Electric Field on Chromophore Orientations of Low T-g-photorefractive Polymers
The influence of the continuous DC electric field on the chromophore orientations is investigated in a typical PVK based photorefractive polymer. The result from the modulation measurement with stabilized Mach-Zehnder interferometer shows that the degree of the chromophore orientation is not deteriorated by the migration of carrier in the case of our sample.
