摘要
We have investigated the role of the easy axis in the photoalignment effect induced by an Ar+ linearly polarized laser beam on a dye-doped nematic liquid crystal cell in a pump-probe experiment. The induced permanent structure in the irradiated zones was studied using a polarizing optical microscope, and the laser-induced surface morphology was studied by atomic force microscopy. The depth of the ripple structure depends on both the pump power and the irradiated surfaces. The azimuthal anchoring energy provided by the ripple structure was evaluated and it was concluded that it varies with the cell's symmetry.
