AbstractAmorphous thin films of a typical side-chain nonlinear optical polymer were investigated by means of dielectric spectroscopy and thermally stimulated depolarization current (TSDC) within the temperature range -40°C to 230°C. Three distinct relaxation processes, labelled α, β and γ were observed. The α-relaxation, associated with the glass transition, is well described by the Vogel-Fulcher relation, while the sub glass transition β and γ-relaxation follow Arrhenius relations. The advantage of TSDC over dielectric spectroscopy is demonstrated for the investigation of the weak β-relaxation in the side-chain polymer. Furthermore, the β -relaxation is responsible for the initial, fast decay of the electro-optical response of the side-chain polymer at room temperature.

ABSTRACTThe photobleaching mechanism of nonlinear optical polymers has been investigated; the PMMA based polymers with nonlinear optical chromophores, 4-dimethylamino-4'-nitro-stilbene (DANS), 4-dimethylamino-4'-hexylsulfone-stilbene (DASS), and 4'-(2-hexyloxyethyl) ethyl amino-4-nitro azobenzene (DR-16). The photobleaching was carried out using near-UV lines. FTIR spectra and UV-VIS absorption spectra were obtained after each photobleaching. Refractive indices were measured in the photobleaching processes. The results suggest that the photobleaching mechanism of two PMMA based side-chain polymers with DANS and DASS chromophores results from the photo-oxidation and that of the PMMA based host-guest polymer with DR-16 chromophore results from the combination of the photo-degradation and the trans-cis conformational transformation.
