Abstract

Indole and 3-methylindole (3-MI) doped into a polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) film are studied by the Stark absorption (electroabsorption) spectroscopy. The 1La and 1Lb absorption bands are distinguished and the change in permanent dipole moment on 1La excitation is determined by a model fit to the measured absorption and electroabsorption spectra. Analysis of the spectra, measured at normal incidence and magic angle conditions, proved the essential role of the electric-field-induced orientation/alignment effects for polar indole and 3-MI molecules in the PMMA environment at room temperature.
