RESUMO

Polymers containing azobenzenic groups have been studied due to their applications on non-linear optics, surface relief gratings (SRG) and photoinduced anisotropy for optical storage. The reversal photoisomerization trans-cis-trans property of the azo group induces a molecular reorientation. In this work, cast films of na azobenzene derivative, the polyurethane MDI-DR19, were studied. The build-up and decay of the birefringence were studied as a function of the photoisomerization exciting light power. The data of the build-up and decay of the birefringence were fitted with a bi-exponential function, which shows the stability of the MDI-DR19 for application in optical storage, since 65% of the induced birefringence remains after a long time. The optical storage is illustrated by recording a birefringence image in a film of MDI-DR19. It was also performed a SRG over films of MDI-DR19 applying an interference finger pattern with a P and S polarized light. The light induced gratings shows good uniformity and characteristics compatible with those presented in the literature.
