The optical storage mechanism in azobenzene side-chain polymers is based on the isomerization cycles of the azobenzene side-chains between their cis and trans forms. The optical anisotropy was detected by coupling the red light at 690 nm with modulated polarization to the NSOM aperture.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">cited By 38</style></notes></record></records></xml>
