Abstract
Poled polymer films, containing hyperpolarizable organic dye 1nolecules, have been widely studies in recent years as a means for producing strong second-order optical nonlinearity. The poling process, in which an electric field is applied to the polymer at elevated temperature, imparts a bulk nonisotropic arrangement to the dye species. Thus, these films can be used for optical second-harmonic generation and electro-optic modulation.
