摘要
The use of moving gratings allows dramatic enhancement of the two-beam coupling gain in a photorefractive polymer. The advantage of using multi-layer structures to increase the effective interaction length is also demonstrated and a small signal optical amplification as large as 500 is achieved using a three-layer sample, the highest reported to date in a photorefractive polymer. From an investigation of the time dependence and detuning frequency dependence, we determine that hole conduction is dominant and that the mobility life-time product reaches mu tau = 3 x 10(-10) cm(2)/V at an applied electric field E-0 = 71 V/mu m.
