摘要

This work investigates the influence of incident light polarization on the holographic performance of azopolymer-based nanocomposites doped with gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs). Thin films of poly-N-epoxypropylcarbazole_SY3 (PEPC-co-SY3) with different Au-NP concentrations were synthesized and subjected to holographic recording using various polarization configurations, including linear (±45°), circular (RCP/LCP), and vortex beams. The diffraction efficiency (DE) was analyzed in relation to the polarization state, beam structure, and Au-NP concentration. UV-Vis spectroscopy was employed to assess the changes in absorption and correlate them with holographic behavior. Results show a significant enhancement of DE due to the presence of Au-NPs, with maximum values up to ~40% under optimized conditions. Additionally, exposure to optical vortex beams led to unique light-induced modifications, suggesting the possibility to recording diffraction optical element (DOE), those are not achievable with conventional phase gratings. Moreover, the films exhibited a distinct anisotropic response, which was highly dependent on the polarization states of the beams used during the recording process. These findings support the potential of Au-NP azopolymer nanocomposites for advanced polarization-sensitive photonic applications.
