Abstract
Second-order nonlinear optical properties of newly designed and synthesized coumaromethacrylate side-chain polymers are reported. The optimum poling conditions were determined experimentally. The optimum poling temperature for these side-chain polymers is well above the glass transition temperature. The second harmonic coefficient of films poled by coronaonset at elevated temperature and the linear electro-optic coefficient of films poled by contact electrodes were measured. The stabilized value of the second harmonic coefficient, d 33, at 1064nm fundamental wavelength was found to be 13 pm/V. The linear electro-optic coefficient, r 33, exhibits strong dispersion ranging from 2 to 12pm/V in the wavelength range 477 to 1115 nm.
