Frequency and Temperature Variations of Cubic Susceptibility in Polydiacetylenes

  • Chapter
Nonlinear Optical and Electroactive Polymers

Abstract

Emergence of conjugated polymers with one dimensional π electron delocalization has opened new perspectives for getting ultra-past nonlinear optical devices with high damage threshold. Since first pioneering works, both theoretical1–4 and experimental5–6 by Ecole Polytechnique’s group in France a great interest of these materials has been demonstrated. Before, organic materials have been known as having either a large second order hyperpolarizability ϰ(2) due to dipolar moment in fundamental and/or excited state in charge transfer molecules7 or a large third order hyper-polarizability ϰ(3) with a long response time (of the order of ms) in liquid crystals8 due to the molecular reorganization under light illumination.
