We prepared the chalcogenide As$\_$40/Ge$\_$10/Se$\_$15/S$\_$35/, Se$\_$75/Ge$\_$25/ thin film. Holographic grating was formed by the He-Ne laser( λ =633 nm). Annealing at 100$^{\circ}C$ and 200$^{\circ}C$ has been used to change the optical property of chalcogenide thin films for holographic grating formation. As the results, large variation of the optical property was generated at the As$\_$40/Ge$\_$10/Se$\_$15/S$\_$35/ chalcogenide film. Diffraction efficiency of the As$\_$40/Ge$\_$10/Se$\_$15/S$\_$35/ film has been enhanced about three times

As optical massmemories, (Se, S)-based chalcogenide amorphous films are used for a holographic supermicrofiche by using the refractive-index change. In 1000$\AA$thick-As$_{40}$ Ge$_{10}$Se$_{100-x}$S$_{x}$(x=0.25, 35at.%), the amount of refractive index change $\Delta$n reaches 0.01~0.53 at 6328, 7800$\AA$ by exposing for 15minutes plue-pass filtered mercury lamp(~4300$\AA$) and annealing 20$0^{\circ}C$. And in initially annealed As$_{40}$ Ge$_{10}$Se$_{15}$ S$_{35}$, photodarkening(PD) and thermalbleaching(TB) was founded.ded.B) was founded.d.

We have been carried out the two-beam interference method to form the diffraction grating on chalcogenide $AS_{40}Se_{15}S_{35}Ge_{10}$ thin films for Holography Data Storage (HDS). In the present work, we have been formed holographic diffraction gratings using He-Ne laser (632.8nm) under different Polarization state combinations (intensity polarization holography, phase polarization holography). It was obtained the diffraction grating efficiency by 11st order intensity and investigated the formed grating structure using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). As the results, it is shown that the diffraction efficiency of (P: P) polarized recording was maximum 2.4% and we found that its value was rather higher than that of other-polarized recordings. From the results, it is confirmed that the efficient holographic grating formation on amorphous chalcogenide $AS_{40}Se_{15}S_{35}Ge_{10}$ films depend on both the spatial variation of intensity and the polarization state of the incident field pattern.

The Ag photodoping effect in amorphous $As_{40}Ge_{10}Se_{15}S_{35}$ chalcogenide thin films for holographic recording has been investigated using a He-Ne laser (${\lambda}$=632.8 nm). The chalcogenide films thickness prepared in the present work were thinner in comparison with the penetration depth of recording light ($d_p=1.66{\mu}m$). It exhibits a tendency of the variation of the diffraction efficiency (${\eta}$) in amorphous chalcogende films, independently of the Ag photodoping. That is, ${\eta}$ increases rapidly at the beginning of the recording process and reaches the maximum (${\eta}_{max}$) and slowly decreases slowly with the exposed time. In addition, the value of ${\eta}_{max}$ depends strongly on chalcogenide film thickness(d) and its maximum peak among the films with d = 40, 80, 150, 300, and 633 nm is observed 0.083% at d = 150 nm (approximately 1/2 ${\Delta}n$), where ${\Delta}$n is the refractive index of chalcogenide thin film (${\Delta}n=2.0$). The ${\eta}$ is largely enhanced by Ag photodoping into the chakogenides. In particular, the value of ${\eta}_{max}$ in a bilayer of 10-nm-thick Ag/150-nm-thick $As_{40}Ge_{10}Se_{15}S_{35}$ film is about 1.6%, which corresponds to ${\sim}20$ times larger than that of the single-layer $As_{40}Ge_{10}Se_{15}S_{35}$ thin film (without Ag). And we obtained the diffraction pattern according to the formation of (P:P) polarization holographic grating using Mask pattern and SLM.

The chalcogenide glasses of thin films have the superior property of photoinduced anisotrophy(PA). In this study, we observed the linear dichroism(D) using the irradiation with polarized He-Ne laser light, in the $Ag/As_{10}Ge_{10}Se_{15}S_{35}$ multi-layer. Mutilayer structures formed by alternating metal(Ag) and chalcogenide($As_{10}Ge_{10}Se_{15}S_{35}$). The Ag polarized photodoping result in reducing time of saturation anisotrophy and increasing sensitivity of linearly anisotrophy intensity, up to maximum 220%. In the thin films of chalcogenide, the Ag polarized photodoping will be show a capability of new method that suggested more improvement of photoinduced anisotrophy property.

There are several methods capable of determining he magnitude of optical anisotropy, such as spectrometric ellipsometry and polarized light reflectometry. The interference method is estimated to be no influence of surface scattering. The magnitude of anisotropy is a-As/sub 40/Ge/sub 10/S/sub 35/Se/sub 15/ thin film is analyzed by the reflection interference analysis method based on the difference depending on a phase of s- and p-polarized light. The theoretically analyzed value is compared with the result obtained by the measured technique.

In this paper, we analyze the structure characteristics of $As_{40}Se_{50-x}S_{x}Ge_{10}$ system bulk and thin films. As the results of XRD patterns, it identified amorphous state. In order to find the glass transition temperature($T_g$), crystallization($T_c$) and melting point ($T_m$)of bulk sample, it ascertained that TS1gT is 238$^{\circ}C$ in $As_{40}Se_{15}S_{35}Ge_{10}$, and 231$^{\circ}C$ in $As_{40}Se_{25}S_{25}Ge_{10}$ & $As_{40}Se_{50}Ge_{10}$ following the thernal analysis by DSC, DTA, & TGA method. Also it was confirmed the phase seperation of continuous phase and dispertion phase by the optical texture of polarizing microscope and $T_g$ near 20$0^{\circ}C$ in thin film. Therefore, it was found that it occurs the phase seperation of Ge-rich dontinuous phase and Se-rich dispersion phase following the EDS analysis of thin film and the surface SEM photograph.

Amorphous chalcogenide thin films, especially a-(Se, S) based films, exhibit a number of photo-induced phenomena. In this study, we make the As$\_$40/Ge$\_$10/Se$\_$15/S$\_$35//Ag thin film and then we measure the holographic diffraction efficiency according to thickness of Ag. And we form the two-dimensional holographic grating. At first, we formed one-dimensional grating and then we form two-dimensional grating by rotate the sample. We found out the most suitable thickness of Ag and in case of As$\_$40/Ge$\_$10/Se$\_$15/S$\_$35//Ag(600${\AA}$), the diffraction efficiency was more higher than other samples. The holographic grating was formed by He-Ne laser(λ=632.8nm). The intensity of incident beam was 2.5mW and incident angle was 20$^{\circ}$. We confirm. the two-dimensional holographic grating by the pattern of diffracted beam and AFM(Atomic Force Microscope) image. We perform the etching process using by 0.26N NaOH in order to confirm clearly two-dimensional grating.
