Azo polymer brushes (G‐PCN) on graphene nanosheets are prepared through a “grafting‐from” approach. The effect of the graphene nanosheets on photoinduced surface modulation is investigated by irradiating solid films of azo molecular glass (Tr‐Az‐CN) containing the nanosheets with interfering Ar + laser beams. By formation of a surface‐relief grating, a very significant increase in the growth rate and saturated value of the diffraction efficiency is observed for Tr‐Az‐CN doped with G‐PCN at very low content (0.5 wt%).
