Abstract
Several polyarylates based on UV-sensitive bisbenzylidenoketones for u se as potential second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) materials have be en obtained by interfacial polycondensation. The polymers investigated can be divided into two groups: guest-host systems and polyarylates w ith NLO side-chains. The electro-optic (EO) coefficient, r(33), was me asured in the Pockels experiment. UV crosslinking was applied to incre ase NLO stability of the investigated materials. Loss and time relaxat ion of EO coefficient for crosslinked and noncrosslinked polyarylates were also measured.
