Nonlinear Optical Acrylic Polymers and Use Thereof in Optical and Electro-Optic Devices

Abstract

This invention relates to acrylic polymers and more specifically to polyacrylamides and polyacrylates such as poly((2-(N-2-methyl-5-nitrophenylamino)ethyl acrylate! and poly(N-2-methyl-4-nitrophenyl)acrylamide. These acrylic polymers are particularly useful as nonlinear optical components in various electrical devices for processing optical signals including interferometors, optical switches, optical amplifiers, generators, computational devices and the like.
