At higher temperatures, both angular hole burning and molecule angular redistribution motions weaken, due to the decreases of cis-to-trans thermal relaxation time and the cis population and the increase of orientational diffusion coefficient. Smaller photoinduced THG variation is observed in both samples at higher temperatures. Results from the THG recovery experiment show that polyurethane homopolymer thin films pumped at a high temperature have the best photoinduced THG variation stability after turning off the pump beam., application/pdf}, pages = {2440--2442}, title = {Temperature-dependent photoinduced third-harmonic-generation variation in azo-homopolymer and azo-doped polymer thin films}, volume = {82}, year = {2003} }
