Photobleaching and optical properties of organic crystal 4-N, N-dimethylamino-4′-N′-methyl stilbazolium tosylate

Photobleaching of organic optical materials can be used to structure the surface layer for integrated optics applications. Linear optical properties and absorption were studied in 4-N, N-dimethylamino-4′-N′-methyl stilbazolium tosylate (DAST) organic crystals within the absorption band from 260–700 nm in order to determine the depth-range of photobleaching. The results were obtained from reflectivity measurements and bleaching experiments. The depth range of photobleaching can be varied between 0.2 and 2.6 μm by selecting a suitable wavelength.
