High Performance Electrooptic Polymers and Excited State Enhancements

Abstract

The enhancement of the third order nonlinear optical susceptibility cubed X in the conjugated linear chain has been studied both theoretically and experimentally, when the system is optically pumped to electronic excited states. Enhancements as high as 1000 times have been achieved.
