In recent years, in looking for an important photorefractive application, several studies on electro-optic and photoconductive sol-gel responses have been done. A very important effort has been addressed to establish the appropriate induced-orientation procedure, in order to get the highest electro-optic coefficient. In this way a very high coefficient of 48 pm/V at 831 nm in sol-gel has been already found. Similarly, the importance of the non-linear chromophore concentration into the material electro-optic behavior has been studied. However, the influence of the orientation procedure and the chromophore concentration over the photoconductive response has not been performed. In this work we study the vacuum-surface-charge-transport under and without illumination after poling times of 10, 30 and 120 min on DR1-functionalized sol-gel thin films of 1.3 um in thickness with a suitable concentration of DR1. We include the measures before poling for other chromophore concentrations. We found the largest density of photocurrent at 633 nm for a poling time of 30 min. We also measured the order parameter in order to follow the Corona induced orientation evolution as function of time for each case. The saturation found into this parameter and into the photoconduction show the existence of an optimal poling time.
