AbstractInitial results of a project directed towards the design and synthesis of ferroelectric liquid crystal polymers (FLCPs) for second order nonlinear optics (NLO) applications are described. FLCP glasses represent a novel type of solid, a truly noncrystalline solid with thermodynamically stable polar order. FLCPs with useful magnitude of the second order susceptibility χ(2) and processability not possible with poled polymers or crystals have been obtained.

In this paper we consider the behavior of a number of side chain liquid crystal polymers having the same mesogenic group and relate their liquid crystalline behavior to their polarization and nonlinear optical properties. We show that the liquid crystallinity of the materials results in an enhancement of the polar order over that of isotropic materials, in qualitative agreement with molecular statistical models.
