J. Kawamata et al., Effective second-order nonlinear optical coefficient of a novel transparent material: N,N-diphenyl-8-[2-(4-pyridyl)ethenyl]dibenzofuran-2-ylamine, CHEM LETT, (10), 2001, pp. 1026-1027
N,N-Diphenyl-8-[2-(4-pyridyl)ethenyl]dibenzofuran-2-ylamine (1) has been sy
nthesized and its second-order nonlinear optical coefficient has been exami
ned by means of Second Harmonic Wave Generated with the Evanescent Wave (SH
EW) method. As a result, 1 has been found to exhibit an effective d coeffic
ient 3.0 times as large as that of urea. The cutoff wavelength of the compo
und was estimated to be 370 nm.
