Paper Abstract
Anthraquinones are a class of organic dyes with a wide range of uses in optical devices that require intensities
above the damage threshold for operation. It has been demonstrated that some anthraquinones doped into
(poly)methyl methacrylate(PMMA) demonstrate the novel effect of self healing. One theory of decay and self
healing is photocharge ejection and recombination. Using digital imaging we probe the electric field dependent
decay and recovery of the anthraquinone disperse orange 11(DO11) doped into PMMA. We find that the electric
field works to mitigate decay and improves recovery, as well as find that for large fields the sample appears to
recover beyond 100%.
