Emission Light

Surface plasmon (SP) excitations have been investigated in the attenuated total reflection (ATR) Kretschmann configuration of prism/metal/Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) films containing dyes. The emission light through the prism was observed using direct irradiation of a laser beam from air to the LB films, i.e., reverse irradiation. The emission intensities depend on the emission angles through the prism, nanostructure of metal and LB films, dye molecules, separation between metal and dye molecules, interactions of dye molecules, etc. The spectra is strongly depended on the emission angles, and the emission light was caused by multiple SP excitations. Nanostructured devices of LB films using SP excitations are described.

ABSTRACTIn this report, we describe the photo-induced in-plane alignment of nematic liquid crystal (LC) molecules, 5CB, in a hybrid cell with alternate self-assembled films of low-molecular weight azobenzene dye and polyelectrolyte on gold electrodes using the attenuated total reflection (ATR) measurement method. The molecular self-assembly process was also investigated by the ATR method. Reflectivities due to excitations of the surface plasmon polariton (SPP) were observed in the ATR properties of the LC cell. In-plane switching of the LC molecules adjacent to the aligning layer was evaluated from the ATR curves after irradiation of linearly polarized visible light to the LC cell. The sensitivity of the ATR method gives information on the alignment, tilt angle, and extent of LC reorientation in the bulk. Thus, the importance of using the molecular self-assembly processes of individual polyion-dye pairs for fabrication of new photo-aligning layers is emphasized.
