Abstract

We present experimental and theoretical results on electro-optical properties of some polymeric films. Specifically, we report on our measurements regarding a new, completely polymeric and potentially photorefractive material with a large electro-optic coefficient and photoconductivity. Furthermore, we summarize our investigations of electro-absorption in a DCH polydiacetylene where the important contributions of continuum threshold on the nonlinear and electro-optical properties of conjugated polymers are emphasized.
