MULTILAYER SECOND-ORDER NONLINEAR OPTICAL FILMS OF HEAD-TO-HEAD MAINCHAIN CHROMOPHORIC POLYMERS

摘要

Second-order nonlinear optical polymeric films, including alternating monomolecular layers of two head-to-head, mainchain, amphophilic, chromophoric polymers, one polymer having the electron donating end of the chromophore attached to hydrophilic groups, and the other polymer having the electron donating end of the chromophore attached to hydrophobic groups, and methods of fabricating the films for use in optonics.
