Abstract :
Electric-field poling of thin polymer films containing dipolar chromophores provides materials possessing significant bulk second-order nonlinear optical susceptibilities. Incorporation of cyanovinyl acceptor groups into the chromophores results in larger susceptibilities than when the more usual nitro group is used. This dye copolymer has been synthesized and processed to yield a novel single-component material with useful, stable bulk hyperpolarizabilities
