Abstract
The nonlinear-optical properties of a semi-interpenetrating polymer ne twork of poly(vinyl alcohol) glutaraldehyde-polyaniline were studied. Large (greater than or equal to 10(-12) cm(2)/W) and fast (<50 ps) ref ractive optical nonlinearites were observed. The potential of this nov el material for photonic applications is evaluated.
