Abstract
We present here a class of processible donor-embedded nonlinear optical (NL O) polyimides exhibiting the high glass-transition temperature and exceptio nal thermal and chemical stability. Due to the rigidity of the donor-embedd ed structure, the stability of the electric field induced dipole orientatio n of the NLO chromophores was enhanced. A sizable second-order nonlinear op tical coefficient was obtained. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights r eserved.
