Abstract

The results on using of carbazole-based azopolymer layers (Polyepoxypropylcarbazole:Methyl Red with magnetic particles of Fe₂SO₄) for the recording of 1-D and 2-D surface relief gratings are presented in this report. Morphology study using AFM and MFM of obtained structures has shown their good quality. Surface relief gratings with profile height up to 1.2 µm were obtained during the holographic recording using blue laser. Along with surface relief grating it was shown the direct formation of magnetic relief. Possibility of simultaneous direct fabrication of surface and magnetic relief by optical holographic recording using azopolymer thin films as recording media was shown.
