Abstract

Photoinduced anisotropic properties of pyrrylfulgide are studied. From measurement of the photoinduced spectrum of dichroism, the birefringence spectrum is evaluated by Kramers-Kronig relations. At optimal exposure of 13 ~ 20J/cm² a maximum photoinduced dichroism (D_{perpendicular} - D_parallel) of about 0.1 and a maximum photoinduced birefringence (n_{perpendicular} - n_parallel) of about 8×10^-4 are achieved. We exploit this photoinduced anisotropy and use a pyrrylfulgide/PMMA film to demonstrate optical image processing such as contrast reversal, image subtraction and summation, low-pass filtering and edge-enhancement. From the spectra of dichroism and birefringence the spectrum of the diffraction efficiency for polarization holography is calculated. We demonstrate that diffracted images with high signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) can be obtained by holographic recording with orthogonal polarization.
