<title>Application of amorphous chalcogenide thin films in optical recording technologies</title>
2005
A review of the recent advances and developments in the practical application of amorphous chalcogenide materials is presented, focusing special attention to holography and lithography. The main functional principles and practical application of amorphous chalcogenide photoresists for production of the embossed rainbow holograms and holographic optical elements are discussed. The laser interference lithography can be used as a low-cost method for the exposure of large surfaces with regular patterns like subwavelength-gratings and microsieves. The surface-relief and reftactive-index modulated gratings with a period of about 50 nm and less can be fabricated by immersion holographic method. Th…
Surface relief formation in amorphous chalcogenide thin films during holographic recording
2010
Abstract This report present the studies of direct holographic recording of the surface relief gratings on amorphous As2S3 films by 532 nm laser light. By giving extra time for recording exposure (more than necessary for volume amplitude-phase optical recording, e.g. Kikineshi, 2000 [2] ), changes of surface relief in the resist material can be observed. This direct surface relief formation phenomenon during holographic recording is discussed here from the side of recording light polarization. Efficiency of the relief formation may also depend on softening temperature of the film material and this influence was studied as well by using additional incoherent light for extra exposure during r…
Model of holographic recording in amorphous chalcogenide films using subband-gap lightat room temperature
1997
The subband-gap light holographic recording in amorphous as-evaporated ${\mathrm{As}}_{2}$${\mathrm{S}}_{3}$ films at room temperature is experimentally studied. Properties are considerably different from those of usual holographic recording based on the band-gap light induced structural changes. The most important characteristic features of this nonpermanent recording include photoinduced refractive index increase, weak photobleaching, the absence of the photoinduced thickness changes, light polarization dependence, large exposures, holographic grating shifts during the exposure and a peculiar two maxima spatial frequency response. The first order diffraction efficiency up to 4.1% is achie…
Electronic Structure Changes across the Metamagnetic Transition in FeRh via Hard X-Ray Photoemission
2012
International audience; Stoichiometric FeRh undergoes a temperature-induced antiferromagnetic (AFM) to ferromagnetic (FM) transition at similar to 350 K. In this Letter, changes in the electronic structure accompanying this transition are investigated in epitaxial FeRh thin films via bulk-sensitive valence-band and core-level hard x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy with a photon energy of 5.95 keV. Clear differences between the AFM and FM states are observed across the entire valence-band spectrum and these are well reproduced using density-functional theory. Changes in the 2p core levels of Fe are also observed and interpreted using Anderson impurity model calculations. These results indicat…
Active Media for Optical Data Processing
2002
Peculiarities of colour centre production and their recombination in photostimulated processes in doped alkali halide systems were examined in connection with their practical use as active photostimulable media in miniaturised optoelectronic and photonic devices. The specific interaction of unrelaxed H-centres and electrons with the dopants in different valence and electronic states open a way for widening the scope of multifunctional (logical and mathematical) optical data processing, including the optical chips.
Holographic Recording of Surface Relief Gratings on As40S60-xSex Thin Films
2015
The studies of direct holographic recording of the surface relief gratings on amorphous As40S60−xSex thin films are presented. These gratings were created upon exposure to polarized laser beams of various wavelengths (λ = 473 – 650 nm). The orthogonally ±45° linearly polarized light beams were used for recording. The surface structure of the relief gratings was investigated by atomic force microscopy. The influence of laser beam wavelength and spatial frequency of the gratings recorded (grating period ?) on the surface relief gratings formation for every composition was examined.
<title>Relief holographic recording in amorphous As-S-Se</title>
2003
The relief-phase holographic gratings in amorphous As-S-Se thin films were recorded and studied. The holographic recording was performed by He-Ne laser (0.6328 μm). The influence of etching and cohernet self-enhancement processes on the formation of surface relief in amorphous As-S-Se thin films was studied.© (2003) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.

Photoinduced direct surface relief formation in amorphous As40S15Se45 films
2013
Abstract The surface relief grating formation in As40S15Se45 films under He–Ne laser wave-length λ = 0.6328 μm light influence was examined. The obtained experimental results showed the strong dependence of photoinduced surface relief depth on illumination dose and film thickness during holographic recording from film side as well as from glass substrate side. The surface relief grating profile over the thickness range 0.13
