Abstract

A copolymer P[OSA-MI] was synthesized by copolymerization of its corresponding monomers,N-phenyl maleimide (MI) and 2-octen-1-ylsuccinic anhydride (OSA). The polymer (poly[2-[1-(2,5-dioxo-1-phenylpyrrolidin-3-ylmethyl)heptyl]-succinic acid 4-(2-{ethyl-[4-(4-nitrophen-ylazo) phenyl]amino}ethyl) ester]) P[DR1MA-MI] was obtained from the reaction of P[OSA-MI] with 2-[4-(4-nitrophenylazo)-N-ethylphenylamino] ethanol (DR1). A stable monolayer of P[DR1MA-MI] was formed by spreading the solution of the polymer in chloroform. In Y-type Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films prepared using this Langmuir-Blodgett method, the second harmonic waves generated from adjacent monolayers canceled each other out. In X- and Z-type LB films, the second harmonic intensity increased upon increasing the number of monolayers, but this increase was somewhat smaller than predicted by the square law. This phenomenon is due to defects or imperfect alignment of the dipoles in the LB film. The generation of second harmonic waves from Y-type LB films having an even number of monolayers supports this argument. The degree of imperfection seemed to increase as the number of layers increased. The second-order nonlinear optical properties of spin-cast films of these polymers were also measured. The largest second harmonic coefficient of the poled P[DR1MA-MI] film coated on a glass plate was 19 pm/V.
