dc.description.abstractAzobenzene and azobenzene-containing polymers are intensively studied in the last decades because of their high potential for various applications: polarization holography, holographic optical polarization-sensitive elements, high-density storage by multiplexing, ptychography, etc. In this article are reported studies based on the optical response of azopolymer poly[1-[4-(3-carboxy-4-hydroxyphenylazo)benzenesulfonamido]-1,2-ethan-ediyl, sodium salt], (PAZO) thin films with embedded Au spherical nanoparticles with different sizes. We found that effective medium approximations (Maxwell-Garnett and Bruggeman) are not satisfactory in evaluation of films optical response. The complex refractive index of the composite film is evaluated as a dependence on three factors: 1) the PAZO matrix complex refractive index; 2) volume scattering efficiency of the Au particle and 3) the filling factor of the composite film. The scattering of a single particle in the azopolymer matrix is calculated using the exact vector Maxwell equations. The particles with mean radius 10, 30 and 50 nm are treated as ensemble of non-aggregated spheres. Multiple scattering by individual particles was ignored. Three specific filling factors of 0.008, 0.010 and 0.030 are considered. The optical transmittance and absorption of a 440 nm thick composite film were evaluated. The algorithm is efficient and the results are robust. The photoinduced spectral response of the composite layers is under study.
