Abstract
A new photoconducting polymer, diphenyl hydrazone-substituted polysiloxane, was successfully synthesized by the hydrosilylation method and characterized by FT-IR,1H-NMR, and29Si-NMR spectroscopy. The glass transition temperature (T g ) of the polysiloxane having pendant diphenyl hydrazone was ca. 62 °C, which enabled a component of a low-T g photorefractive material to be prepared without the addition of any plasticizers. This polysiloxane, with 1 wt% of C60 dopant, showed a high photoconductivity (2.8×10−12 S/cm at 70 V/μm) at 633 nm, which is necessary for fast build-up of the space-charge field. A photorefractive composite was prepared by adding a nonlinear optical chromophore, 2-{3-[2-(dibutylamino)-1-ethenyl]-5,5-dimethyl-2-cyclohexenylidene} malononitrile, into the photoconducting polysiloxane together with C60. This composite shows a large orientation birefringence (Δn=2.6×10−3 at 50 V/μm) and a high diffraction efficiency of 81% at an electric field of 40 V/μm.
