Abstract
Photorefractive materials based on the nematiclike photoconductive polymers PPT-TPA consisting of the rigid backbone poly(p-phenyleneterephthalate), PPT, and pendent photoconducting triphenylamine (TPA) groups were studied in reflection grating geometry and compared to the layered photorefractive composites PPT-CZs with photoconducting carbazole (CZ) groups. The order level of the mesophase structure has a crucial influence on the trapping characteristics of the composites. The nematiclike composites although of lower photoconductivity exhibit one order of magnitude faster response than in the layered composites in the reflection grating regime. This is attributed to the increased trapping rate as a result of the specific mesophase structure.
