Abstract

When the chromophores (dipoles) of a polymer are oriented electrically (electric field poling) and mobility is frozen below the glass transition temperature of the polymer, these materials can be used as frequency doublers (second harmonic generation (SHG)), and materials for waveguides and electro-optical devices.1
