Organic Polymeric Electro-Optic Materials: Synthesis, Processing and Device Applications
Abstract
A number of polymeric second and third order nonlinear optical materials were designed and synthesized. The materials were characterized for their thermal properties and processed into thin films by Langmuir-Blodgett technique or spin coating methods which then were evaluated by second harmonic generation and electric field induced phase changes by interferometry. Stable second order nonlinear coefficient was obtained in crosslinked systems. Waveguiding with low loss was achieved in spin coated nonlinear optical polymer films, and frequency doubling experiments in waveguide configuration were performed....
