In order to optimize the loading of
3-(1,1-dicyanothenyl)-1-phenyl-4, 5-dihydro-1H-pryazole (DCNP) in
polyetherketone (PEK-c) guest-host polymer films, ten kinds of DCNP/PEK-c
thin films, in which the weight per cent of DCNP changes from 5 to 50, were
prepared. Their second-order nonlinear optical coefficients χ33(2) at λ = 1064 nm were measured by using Maker fringe
method after poling under the optimal poling condition. Their optical
waveguide transmission losses were measured at 632.8 nm. Optimal weight
per cent of the chromophore for the DCNP/PEK-c guest-host polymer system has
been determined as about 20 for use in the integrated optical devices.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
