We employ two approaches to tune the properties of concurrently inscribed volume polarization and surface relief gratings in nanocomposite thin films containing the azopolymer PAZO (poly[1-4-(3-carboxy-4-hydrophenylazo)benzensulfonamido]-1,2-ethanediyl, sodium salt]) and goethite (α-FeOOH) nanorods. The first one is applied on the stage of sample preparation by varying the concentration of the goethite nanorods from 0% to 15%. Then, different angles between the recording beams are set in the holographic scheme, which allow us to obtain gratings with spatial periods in the range from 0.86 to 2.51 µm. Surface relief modulation close to 300 nm is achieved as well as total diffraction efficiency in the ±1 diffracted orders of more than 50%. The influence of the incorporated goethite nanorods on the properties of both volume birefringence and the surface relief grating are discussed.

Two efficient optical methods are demonstrated to improve the formation of surface relief grating (SRG). The SRG formation is realized by a two-beam interference technique (λ=532nm) in an azobenzene side-chain copolymer. An incoherent UV beam (λ=355nm) or an incoherent VIS beam (λ=532nm), called assisting beam, was used to accelerate the photoisomerization process of the cis-form↔trans-form cycle, resulting in an efficient formation of SRG. The dependence of the diffraction efficiency and the relief depth of the SRGs on the polarizations of both assisting beams were investigated showing two different assisting mechanisms.
