Abstract [en]

The optical properties of the azo-dyes SD-1/SDA-2, which are used for photoaligning of liquid crystals (LCs), are investigated with Variable Angle Spectroscopic Ellipsometry (VASE). Films of mixture of SD-1/SDA-2 are deposited by spin coating on silicon wafers. The estimated thickness is approximately 10 nm. To achieve photo-induced anisotropy, one of the samples is illuminated during 15 minutes with linearly polarized UV light followed by thermal stabilization during 1 hour at 150 degrees C. VASE measurements are performed in the wavelength range 200-1350 rim at several angles of incidence and at different sample orientations. Dielectric functions of azo-dye films without/with polarized UV light illumination were modelled using an ensemble of Lorentz oscillators. The results confirm the diffusion model proposed recently for explanation of the formation of the photo-induced order in azo-dye films under the action of polarized light. Refractive indices, their wavelength dispersion and thicknesses of films of SD-1/SDA-2 are reported here.
