Abstract

Recent activity in the development of nonlinear optical (NLO) materials with high second order susceptibilities has prompted the development of a wide variety of pendant polymers which possess desirable properties for device development, including high Tg minimal relaxation of the poled matrix, and high laser damage threshold. Ideal candidates for such systems are asymmetrically substituted oligomers of polyacetylenes such as dimethylaminonitrostilbene (DANS) and corresponding higher order oligomers. We report here a preliminary study of the synthesis of asymmetrically substituted donor/acceptor diphenyl-capped polyenes and thienylene vinylene oligomers attached as pendant moieties on polyvinylphenol (PVP) for second harmonic generation.
