Nonlinear Optical Properties of New Dye Doped Photocrosslinkable Polymers

Abstract

Extensive studies have been made on poled Nonlinear Optical (NLO) guest-host systems. The limited solubility of the NLO species in a host matrix and the thermal relaxation of the induced nonlinear optical activity of the poled polymeric films are major disadvantages. Side chain polymers have attracted attention since a large number of NLO molecules may be covalently attached to the polymer chain and the problem of phase segregation of the NLO component is alleviated. In this article, we present the second and third order NLO properties of a new class of guest-host system which possess excellent doping features and photoreactive characteristics.
