Abstract

azo compoundsazo compounds (diazo compounds, triazenes etc.) (benzene compounds) Q 0160 -088Perfluoroalkylsulfonyl-Substituted Azobenzenes as Second-Order Nonlinear Optical Chromophores.-Compounds (I) are prepared by conventional methods and used to prepare the corresponding methyl methacrylate copolymers. The compounds act as second-order nonlinear optical chromophores. Compounds (Ib)-(Id) and the corresponding copolymers show enhanced second-order nonlinear coefficients and improved relaxation behavior compared with the nitro compound (Ia) and the corresponding copolymer. -(MATSUI, M.; KAWASE, R.; FUNABIKI, K.; MURAMATSU, H.; SHIBATA, K.; ISHIGURE, Y.; HIROTA, K.; HOSODA, M.; TAI, K.; Bull.
