Abstract

We report the observation of the influence of light polarization on the photocrystallization process and on the properties of crystallized films. Irradiation with linearly polarized He-Ne laser light results in the preparation of polycrystalline films with strong optical anisotropy (dichroism), the sign of which is determined by the direction of the electrical vector of light. The results obtained allow one to select from previously proposed mechanisms of photocrystallization. Large values of photoinduced dichroism in the films studied can be interesting for different applications of photoinduced anisotropy.
