Polysulfones, such as poly(oxy-1,4-phenylenesulfonyl-1,4-phenyleneoxy-1,4-phenyleneisopropylid-ene-1,4-phenylene), poly(phenylene ether sulfone), poly(phenylene sulfone), and aliphatic polysulfone, poly(bicycloheptene sulfone), were employed as a host resin. N-ethyl-N-hydroxyethyl-4-(4'-nitrophenylazo)phenylamine (Disperse Red 1) acted as a guest molecule and was dispersed in those hosts with a concentration of 5 wt. % to 10 wt.%. Their second harmonic generation properties were characterized and compared. Xijk values obtained varied from 11 pm/V to 21 pm/V. The merits of polysulfones as a host material are good optical clarity, easy film forming, and fairly high glass transition Tg temperature (140 °C to 190 °C). Chemically, compared to polyimides they have good resistance to moisture, i.e., less vulnerable to hydrolysis. It is a good candidate for electro-optical materials.

AbstractDisperse Red 1 (DR1) doped TiO2-SiO2 inorganic-organic hybrid polymers were prepared by an anhydrous sol-gel process and second harmonic generation (SHG) of the fundamental 1053nm in these polymeric thin films was measured using Maker-fringe method. The nonlinear optical activity of DR1 in the thin films was studied by corona poling at different temperature (from room temperature to 140°C), and the stability of SHG after switching off corona power was evaluated by analyzing the SHG decay dynamics. Experimental results showed that the stability of the SHG of DR1 significantly increases with the cross-linkage degree of the TiO2SiO2 hybrid polymer network, and that the second harmonic coefficient d33 increases as the DR1 concentration increases. TiO2-doping can promote the polymerization of unsaturated C=C double bonds in the hybrid thin films during in-situ hot poling, enhancing the cross-linkage of the network of the hybrid material, and resulting in a great improvement of the stability of SHG. The excellent stability of second harmonic generation in the hybrid polymer thin films suggests that TiO2-doped inorganic-organic hybrid polymer is promising for chromophore doping for nonlinear optical applications.

AbstractSecond order molecular susceptibilities β of poly(γ – benzyl L–glutamate)(PBLG) and poly(γ – p–nitrobenzyl L–glutamate) (PNBLG) were determined by means of dc-induced second harmonic generation (dc-SHG technique in solutions at a wavelength of 1064nm as 1.5×10–−29 esu and −4.9×10−29 esu, respectively. Among PBLG, PNBLG and nitrobenzene, it was found that only PNBLG has negative value of β. It follows that the effect of nitrophenyl groups in side chains is dominant for β whereas the contribution of carbonyl groups in main chain is dominant for the permanent dipole moment μ in PNBLG.
