Abstract
Efficient optical phase-conjugate (PC) signals in four kinds of novel polyester films containing cyanoazobenzene units in the side chain are reported. One of them can efficiently generate only the photoinduced anisotropy (PA) component of PC signal, while the other three films ca n simultaneously generate two types of PC signals, PA and holographic components. These polymers have good potential not only as a phase con jugator but also as a polarization-sensitive hologram-recording materi al.
