Abstract
Nonlinear optical polymers with high glass transition temperatures were pre pared by polymer analogous reaction of maleic anhydride copolymers, with am inoalkyl-functionalised azo- and stilbene chromophore a. Glas a transition temperatures from 178 to 228 degrees C were obtained. Poled films of the po lymers were characterised by second-harmonic generation and showed a nonlin ear optical response that is stable at elevated temperatures. (C) 2000 Else vier Science Ltd.
