Abstract
In last years one observes a fast progress in synthesis and elaboration of non-centrosymmetric functionalized polymers for applications primarily in electrooptic modulation and frequency conversion. These materials possess large second order nonlinear optical susceptibility χ (2) and can be easily processed into good optical quality thin films for travelling wave applications. Essentially four types of polymeric structures have been developed, as shown in Fig. 1:
-
1-
guest-host systems
-
2-
side chain polymers
-
3-
main chain polymers
-
4-
thermally or photo -crosslinking polymers
