(a) Variation of the out-of-plane birefringence Δ⊥ (= nxy − nz) with annealing temperature T for 467 nm-thick C-PNME and 437 nm-thick R-PNBE films. nxy and nz are the in-plane and out-of-plane refractive indices of the film at = 633 nm, respectively. (b) Variation of the out-of-plane thermal expansion coefficient (∊⊥) as a function of film thickness for C-PNME and R-PNBE films annealed at 473 K. |
