Nanocomposite Films Based on Photosensitive Azopolymer with Gold Nanoparticles: Synthesis, Film Deposition, Diffractive Optical Elements Recording and Characterization

Abstract

In the present study, the photosensitive nanocomposite was fabricated based on azopolymer and Au nanoparticles (Azo-Au NPs). For the first time, the synthesized polymeric poly-N-(2,3-epoxypropyl) carbazole with azo dye SY 3 (PEPC-co-SY 3) was the basis of the nanocomposite. As a medium for polarization holographic recording, thin films of a nanocomposite a number of concentrations deposited on a glass slide by the rod coating method were studied.
