ABSTRACTThe synthesis and second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of a new family of optically nonlinear coumarin dye-containing polymers is reported. Polymerizable coumaromethacrylate (CMA) monomers having various alkyl spacers (C2 to C5) between the polymerizable group and the chromophore were prepared and copolymerized with methylmethacrylate (MMA) and other vinyl monomers. The CMA copolymers had high chromophoric content (up to 18 × 1020) and glass transitions as high as 132°C. Spin cast films were prepared on BK7 substrates and oriented by corona-onset poling at elevated temperatures (COPET). The poled CMA copolymer films were characterized for spectroscopic absorption and second harmonic properties. A comparison of the nonlinear optical properties of poled CMA-MMA copolymers to poled guest-host systems is made. Relative to guest/host systems, CMA-MMA copolymer films exhibit larger and much more stable second-order nonlinear optical properties.

InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells (MQWs) are grown by metal-organic chemical vapour deposition on (0001) sapphire substrates. Triple-axis X-ray diffraction (TXRD) and photoluminescence (PL) spectra are used to assess the influence of trimethylgallium (TMGa) flow on structural defects, such as dislocations and interface roughness, and the optical properties of the MQWs. In this paper, a method, involving an ω scan of every satellite peak of TXRD, is presented to measure the mean dislocation density of InGaN/GaN MQWs. The experimental results show that under certain conditions which keep the trimethlyindium flow constant, dislocation density and interface roughness decrease with the increase of TMGa flow, which will improve the PL properties. It can be concluded that dislocations, especially edge dislocations, act as non-radiative recombination centres in InGaN/GaN MQWs. Also noticed is that changing the TMGa flow has more influence on edge dislocations than screw dislocations.

ABSTRACTDroplets of l, 6-di(N-carbazolyl)-2, 4 hexadiyne (DCHD) diacetylene were prepared by room temperature evaporation of dilute (0.01 wt %) solution of the monomer in chloroform on amorphous carbon-coated mica substrates. HREM and SAED examination revealed small crystallographically textured droplets (∼1 μm diameter) with cracks parallel to the [001] chain direction. The droplet geometry allowed us to investigate the structure of the polymer near edges both parallel and perpendicular to the chain axis. It was found that the curvature of the droplet edge caused a local bending of the polymer crystal lattice. The direct imaging of the molecular organization near the droplet surface allowed an investigation of the mechanisms of lattice bending via the formation of edge dislocations. An understanding of these defects is important in determining how they relate to the optical properties of poly(diacetylenes).

AbstractIn this work. we report on characterization methods and the optical properties of a polyimide (Ultradel 9020D). The prism coupling technique was used to couple light into polyimide thin films. The scattered light from the surface was imaged to determine the optical loss at different wavelengths. The coupling angle was used to find the refractive index of the films. The stability of the polymer in terms of refractive index and absorption losses was studied by heat treatment under nitrogen at elevated temperatures. No significant change was observed in the properties of the film at annealing temperatures below 200°C. The bulk and surface losses were separated and it was found that the waveguide losses were dominated by bulk losses. Temperature stability of the polymer was evaluated by annealing the polymer at 125°C for up to 30 hours. No significant changes were seen in the optical losses for these times.
