Azobenzene photochemistry is a fascinating area of investigation, on one hand, because it
is fairly wellknown, 1 and on the other hand because it has produced and continues to …

Azobenzene chromophores can be switched between two geometric isomers using visible
light. This photoisomerization is rapid, reversible, and of high quantum yield, and the …

Based on Newtonian fluid dynamic relations, a model is constructed to describe laser-
induced mass transport in thin films of polymers containing isomerizable azobenzene …

This straightforward text examines the scientific principles, characterization techniques, and
fabrication methods used to design and produce high quality optical fibers. Polymer Fiber …

The reversible cis-trans photoisomerization of disperse red 1 (DR1) in PMMA thin films has
been demonstrated to be strongly polarization sensitive [1]. In this communication two …

Electron crystallography has focused in the last few years on the analyses of microcrystals,
mainly organic compounds, triggered by recent publications on acquisition methods based …

The reversible cis-trans photoisomerization of azobenzene derivatives is very sensitive to
the polarization of the pumping beam which induces birefringence and dichroism. Recently …

Photorefractive materials exhibit a spatial modulation of the refractive index due to
redistribution of photogenerated charges in an optically nonlinear medium. As such, they …

The transistor has revolutionized civilization. The photon will enable the next revolution
provided that photomechanical materials, which convert light energy into mechanical work …

The reversible photoisomerization of azobenzene derivatives is known for its anisotropic
properties. We study the dichroism and the anisotropy induced by a linearly polarized pump …
