Abstract :
We fabricated methylorange (MO) doped PVA thin film for various concentrations of methylorange and measured the photoinduced birefringence of MO/PVA thin film by means of the pump-probe technique. The experimental results were analyzed by adopting empirical stretched-exponential kinetics.
