摘要
Surface relief gratings (SRGs) were fabricated on composite films assembled by alternate electrostatic deposition of a polyelectrolyte, poly(dimethyldiallylammonium chloride), and an organic azo dye, congo red. The modulation of SRGs was found to increase with the thickness of the matrix films. Significant photochemical bleaching of the azo dye in the polymeric microenvironment as well as gradient-force-induced migration of the small azo dye contributes to the formation of the SRG structure. This finding demonstrates a facile method to fabricate SRGs for optical and information storage applications using commercially available azo dyes and polyelectrolytes.
