Abstract
Permanent all-optical poling of a side-chain polyimide film with azobe nzene chromophore using a low power nanosecond laser was experimentall y demonstrated. The characteristic kinetics of growth and decay of the induced second-order susceptibility were measured by second-harmonic generation. The second-order nonlinear optical coefficient d(33) was d etermined to be 2.6 pm/V, and was observed to be stable at 85 degrees C. (C) 1997 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
