Abstract

Second-order nonlinear optical polymers can be divided into four groups regarding arrangements of chromophore dipoles in polymer backbones, namely, side-chain polymers, random, head-to-tail, and head-to-head Main-chain polymers. A variety of polymers with the aforementioned configurations have been designed and synthesized from functionalized amino-nitro azobenzene chromophores. Poling processes of these polymeric materials have been investigated by in-situ poling and second-harmonic generation detection.
