Paper Abstract
One of the limiting factors of optical devices for space applications is photodamage from high intensity light
and radiation. Dye doped polymers offer many advantages in device design but are susceptible to photodamage,
especially due to high intensity UV radiation. Several organic dyes have been observed to self heal after photodegradation. We seek to understand the underlying mechanism with the goal of designing materials that are
more robust to photodegradation. We test the hypothesis that photodegradation is due to charge injection into
the polymer and healing due to recombination using photoconductivity and imaging measurements of disperse
orange 11(DO11) doped into PMMA.
