M. and Kucharski, P. and Tajalli, H. and }, title = {Birefringence Properties and Surface Relief Grating Formation on Methylacrylate Polymers with Photochromic Side Chains}, volume = {4}, number = {1}, abstract ={We have studied light-induced birefringence (LIB) and surface relief grating (SRG) formation in the series of methylacrylate polymers. The effect of material structure such as length of photochromic side chain, glass transition temperature and molecular structure of azo units on LIB and SRG are studied. The optical formation of self-induced SRG on films of these materials is also presented. }, URL = {http://ijop.ir/article-1-38-en.html}, eprint = {http://ijop.ir/article-1-38-en.pdf}, journal = {International Journal of Optics and Photonics}, doi = {}, year = {2010} }
