Abstract
The absorption spectra and circular dichroism responses upon irradiation with 488 nm circularly polarized light (CPL) have been studied on polymeric films processed from two nematic copolymers containing azobenzene chromophores. Influence of the aggregation and orientation of azobenzenes on the photoinduced chiroptical properties has been analyzed. Moreover, polymeric films and 4 μm planar cells filled with the copolymers were studied by polarized optical microscopy (POM) with the aim of investigating the change of macroscopic optical properties and textures of azopolymers upon irradiation with CPL.
