<p>Novel compositions and synthetic methods for forming nonlinear optic polymers, which may be incorporated into multiple light-based devices, are disclosed. These compositions include chromophoric monomer units that incorporate nonlinear optic chromophores, linking monomers that may be used to link chromophoric monomers, and polymers made from chromophoric monomers or chromophoric monomers in combination with linking monomers. The polymers can exhibit high thermal stability, which is believed to arise from their covalently bonded chromophore structures. In addition to their covalently bonded chromophore structures, in one aspect, nonlinear optic polymers are disclosed that may be crosslinked to further increase the thermal and dipole stability of the polymers.</p> |
