THEORETICAL-STUDIES ON LASER-INDUCED GRATINGS IN ORGANIC PHOTOISOMERS

A theoretical model for formation of light-induced gratings in organic photoisomers is presented. Using this model, dynamic behaviors of the light-induced gratings are studied theoretically for two different ca ses: in the first case, in addition to a CW laser generating the writi ng beams and the reading beam, a pulsed laser is used as an optical pu mp, in the second case, the writing beams are provided by a pulsed las er, and the reading beam comes from a CW laser, Agreement between expe riment and theory is also demonstrated.
