Abstract
Dyes for nonlinear optics have been synthesized in two steps from 2-hy droxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), 4-carboxybenzaldehyde and various subs tituted anilines. The obtained dyes (aromatic imine esters of HEMA) ha ve been copolymerized with styrene, the copolymers characterized by DS C as well as IR, H-1 NMR and UV-VIS spectroscopy, and studied for thei r nonlinear properties. The d31 and d33 nonlinear coefficients proved to be dependent on the dye content of the copolymers and on the nature of electrondonating groups.
