Abstract :
Summary form only given. We have modified the basic Mach-Zehnder (MZ) interferometer for use in the study of the electro-optic properties of dye-doped polymers. In situ electric field-, temperature-, and frequency-dependent linear electro-optic measurements of thin films of 4-dimethylamino-4´-nitrostilbene (DANS) doped into poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) is reported.
