Side-chain second-order nonlinear optical polyimides were prepared from four novel chromophore-containing diamines and 4,4Π-(hexafluoroisopropylidene) diphthalic anhydride by a traditional two-step process that included a solution polycondensation followed by a chemical imidization.

β¦ Synopsis
Acrylate-methylmethacrylate copolymers have been synthesized for nonlinear optical applications. Acrylate monomer units are characterized by the presence in the side chain of phenylbenzoxazole groups containing electron donor-electron acceptor substituents. The phase behavior of all polymers has been investigated by DSC, X-ray diffraction and polarizing microscopy: two of them exhibit liquid crystalline behavior of smectic type. For four polymers, nonlinear optical properties have been examined by second harmonic generation measurements on thin films (Ο³ 1 m thickness) electrically poled by corona discharge. Second order susceptibility coefficients d 33 and average relaxation times ΝΝ, relative to the time stability of the chromophore poling, have been measured.

Second harmonic generation (SHG) was used to measure the temperature dependence of the reorientation activation volume of the side-chain copolymer poly(disperse red 1 methacrylate-co-methyl methacrylate) (DR1-MMA). The decay of the SHG signal from poled films of DR1-MMA was recorded at hydrostatic p
