K. Kajikawa et al., 2ND-HARMONIC GENERATION IN DISPERSE-RED-LABELED POLY(METHYL METHACRYLATE) LANGMUIR-BLODGETT-FILM, Applied physics letters, 62(18), 1993, pp. 2161-2163
We have prepared a second harmonic (SH) active polymer LB film of {N-e
thyl-N-[4-(4-nitrophenylazo)phenyl]amino}ethyl acrylate/methyl methacr
ylate) by means of horizontal deposition. Considerably high susceptibi
lities chi(zzz) = 41.9 pm/V (1.00 X 10(-7) esu) and chi(zxx) = 7.33 pm
/V (1.75 X 10(-8) esu) were obtained without poling process. Although
the initial 4 monolayers show no SH activity, the monolayers more than
fifth have a SH active structure.
