vis linear dichroism spectra of trans-and cis-azobenzene in stretched poly(ethylene) (PE) films are reported. Trans --,cis photo-isomerization kinetics were measured at 337 nm using polarized light with the electric vector either parallel or perpendicular to the stretching direction of the matrix. T
