用溶胶-凝胶法及重复旋转涂膜法制备了乙基红偶氮染料与聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯(PMMA)掺杂聚合物薄膜样品,测量薄膜样品的全光开关特性的结果表明,选择合适的掺杂浓度(2wt%~6wt%)和偶极矩较大的极性溶剂(环已酮)制备的薄膜样品,在室温条件下对8mW的控制光功率及周期为0.66ms的控制光乙基红有机聚合物薄膜来说,具有毫秒量级的开关响应速度和40%以上的开关调制深度,最大的调制深度达72%。
The azodye Ethyl Red (ER) doped polymer (PMMA) films were prepared by the sol-gel process and the spin-coating technology, the all-optical switching characteristics of the samples were measured. The experimental results demonstrate that in the room temperature and while the control beam is 8mW and the period is 0.66 ms, the response time of the switching of millisecond magnitude and the modulation depth above 40% are obtained by choosing the proper doping concentrations (2-6wt%) of the samples and using strong polar solvent (cyclohexanone), the maximal modulation depth of switch reaches 72%.
