Abstract

Photorefractive, nonlinear optical, and photoelectric characteristics at 1064 nm are discussed in the case of composites of polyvinyl carbazole (PVC) and closed single-walled carbon nanotubes with an additive of a visible-range cyanine dye with high electron affinity. Photorefractive properties are due to carbon nanotubes that are simultaneously spectral sensitizers toward laser irradiation at 1064 nm and responsible for the third-order dielectric susceptibility. Introduction of the dye leads to an increase in the photorefractive two-beam amplification factor of the laser bean and a significant increase in the quantum efficiency of free hole formation in PVC, but also a decrease in the third-order susceptibility. The dye plays the role of a super-sensitizer. It probably limits charge recombination in geminal pairs photogenerated in the range of bright interference fringes.
