An electron-beam method is used for the poling of two nonlinearoptical polymers, namely a guest-host material, Disperse Red 1/Poly(methyl methacrylate) and a side-chain polymer based on astyrene-co-maleic-anhydride polymer and Disperse Red 1 chromophore sidegroups. Details of the poling process are reported together with resultsfrom laser-induced pressure-pulse (LIPP) polarization-profile scans.Results of thermally stimulated current (TSC) measurements are alsodiscussed. An evaluation of the experimental data shows that under thepresent experimental conditions, only the guest-host polymer can bepoled while the side-chain polymer shows a space charge but nopolarization
