In this paper, we report the synthesis of a self-engineered homo-functionalized azo-polymer with gigantic birefringence. A reversible change in the thin film absorption is observed when illuminating it with linearly polarized monochromatic light. The tunability of the azo-polymer was further analyzed with focused surface plasmon.
