The optical characterization of transparent and stretchable patterned surfaces replicated from the fabrication of quasicrystal structures on azopolymer thin films is presented. The complexity of the quasicrystal surface fabrication is obtained by superimposed multiple light exposures. Azopolymer surface patterns are used as a replica molding master.

Absorption and fluorescence spectra of three Sudan dyes (SudanIII, SudanIV and Sudan black B) were recorded in various solvents with different polarity in the range of 300-800nm, at room temperature. The solvatochromic method was used to investigate dipole moments of these dyes in ground and excited states, in different media. The solvatochromic behavior of these substances and their solvent-solute interactions were analyzed via solvent polarity parameters.

A quantitative study of solvent environment effects on the photo-physical properties of a group of polymeric cyano azo benzene compounds was carried out at room temperature. Absorption and emission spectra of this group of azo matter with similar structure and different statistical weight of azo block have been studied in different solvents. The solvatochromic method was used to estimate the dipole moments in ground and excited states.
