Overview
Poled polymers doped with nonlinear optically active chromophores combine the large second order nonlinearity of the dopant dye molecules with the optical quality of the polymer. The material design flexibility afforded to doped polymers makes them attractive in a large variety of devices and applications. This book addresses the critical science and technology issues in the development and application of poled polymers, with an emphasis on the stabilization of poled polymers and their special applications to second harmonic generation (SHG) and electro-optic (EO) devices.

Presents material for teaching graduate and undergraduate students and for people such as device engineers working in nonlinear optics, people interested in the specific area of the field, and for newcomers to it. Poled polymers doped with nonlinear optically active chromophores have been demonstrated to combine the large second-order nonlinearity of the dopant dye molecules with the optical quality of the polymer, and to have a design flexibility that makes them attractive in a large variety of devices and applications. Here, 18 papers from a July 1995 symposium in Kusatsu, Japan, address critical science and technology issues emphasizing the stabilization of the materials and special applications to second harmonic generation and electro-optic devices.
