Abstract
A new heterocyclic polymer, polyoxazolidone, with a NLO chromophore co valently incorporated for second-order nonlinear optical studies, has been developed. The material exhibited excellent processibility and go od stability. Optical quality films were obtained, efficiently poled, and cured. This un-cross-linked polymer showed better thermal stabilit y than a crosslinked polyurethane with the same NLO chromophore. A d(3 3) coefficient of 85 pm/V at the 1.06 mu m fundamental wavelength was obtained.
