Side-chain maleimide based electro-optic polymer for second-order nonlinear optics

摘要

The electro-optic properties of a poled second-order nonlinear optical maleimide polymer system were reported.This polymer was synthesized by doping disperse red 1 moieties into the maleimide system as the side chains.Its glass transition temperature was measured to be 202 ℃ by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) technology.After being poled,the measured electro-optic coefficient of PHSD at the wavelength of 1 550 nm is as large as 3.03 pm/v.Except for an initial decay after being poled,PHSD exhibits little electro-optic relaxation in a long term and its electro-optic coefficient remains about 2.46 pm/v after 15 days.
