Abstract
The dielectric permittivities and losses of poly(methyl methacrylate) doped with different concentrations of azo dye are investigated under the irradiation of 532nm light for the first time. The dielectric permittivities increase with the concentration of chromophores increasing, and the dielectric relaxation is mainly influenced by the doped azo-dye chromophores. Given the dye concentration, the dielectric permittivities depend on the pump power of 532nm light. With the increase of pumping light power, the low frequency dielectric losses increase while the high frequency dielectric losses decrease. The results are explained based on the photoinduced isomerization of chromophores and the interaction between the chromophores and polymer matrices.
