Abstract
Absorption spectra of poly[4-metacryloyloxy-(4′-carboxy-3′-oxy)azobenzene] films and their complexes with cobalt, without additives or doped with a merocyanine dye whose absorption spectrum lay in the near IR region, were studied before and after switching on an external electric field. An external electric field effect was found on the light transmittance of films within the dye absorption region, which indicated sensitization of the electrooptical effect. The electrooptical properties of the films resulted from spatial reorientation of dipole moments of azobenzene groups in an external electric field, which initiated turning of dye molecules. A phenomenological model was proposed to explain the sensitization of the electrooptical effect.
