Abstract

Because of their potential application in high-speed electrooptic (EO) devices with very broad bandwidth and low driving voltages, organic second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) materials have attracted much attention among scientists. 1, 2 One of the major problems encountered in optimizing organic NLO materials is to efficiently translate the large β values of the organic chromophores into high macroscopic NLO activities of polymers. To solve ...
