Abstract

Polarization holographic gratings in azopolymers are due to three photoinduced effects: linear anisotropy, circular anisotropy, and surface relief. In our polymers the surface relief grating is with doubled frequency with respect to the volume anisotropic grating. A theoretical analysis is presented and compared with experimental data.
