Photosemiconducting properties of holographic media based on ferrocenyl-containing cooligomers of glycidyl carbazole with these oligomers sensitized by organic dye

Abstract

Spectral, photosemiconducting, and information properties of holographic recording media with films of glycidyl carbazole-butyl glycidyl ether cooligomer, methylated ferrocenyl oligoglycidyl carbazole, and o-carboxybenzoyl ferrocene glycidyl ether cooligomer with squaryl dye additives were studied. An increase in the holographic sensitivity and photoconductivity of recording media with ferrocenyl-containing cooligomer films in comparison with media based on a glycidyl carbazole cooligomer was found. This phenomenon was attributed to the effect of iron ions on the singlet-triplet conversion rate in photogenerated charge pairs, which was validated by analyzing the dependence of the photocurrent on the external magnetic field. A phenomenological model of the effect of ferrocene on the photoconductivity of studied films was proposed.
