Abstract

Two series of highly hyperpolarizable nonlinear optical (NLO) chromophores, containing perfluoroaryl dicyanovinyl and phenyl tetracyanobutadienyl acceptors, have been designed and synthesized. These chromophores show good thermal and chemical stability. The 3D conformational structures, confirmed by computational modeling, enhance polymer matrix compatibility and decrease optical loss of the polymer films. The guest-host polymers of the chromophores show large electro-optical activities.
