Fj. Kao et al., IMAGING PHOTOINDUCED REACTION OF POLY(P-PHENYLENEVINYLENE) THIN-FILMSBY A SPECTRALLY RESOLVED LASER-SCANNING MICROSCOPE, JPN J A P 1, 37(8), 1998, pp. 4409-4411
We have observed the enhancement of photoluminescence in poly(p-phenyl
enevinylene) thin films under laser beam irradiation by a spectrally r
esolved laser scanning microscope. The photoluminescence is found to i
ncrease at the very start of irradiation. However, extended exposure w
ould also lead to decrement in photoluminescence and burned-out spots
as reported previously. This enhancement effect may correspond to the
many stages during the photo-induced reaction.
