Photoinduced birefringence, surface gratings inscription
and two-beam coupling properties are investigated on a
series of amorphous high-Tg azo-containing polymers. For
photoinduced birefringence, a neighboring group effect
was observed, and dipolar interaction is demonstrated to
be the main factor determining cooperative motion of side
groups below Tg. Surface gratings can act as optical
couplers into waveguides on the polymer films.
Asymmetrical (photorefractive) and two-beam coupling due
to multiwave mixing can be exploited for switching
elements. In principle, a whole photonic device can be
envisaged on simple polymer film and obtained by optical
inscription.
