Electro-optic determination of the nonlinear-optical properties of a covalently functionalized Disperse Red 1 copolymer

Optoelectronics Generation and Detection of Intense Terahertz Electromagnetic Pulses.

“…The polymer consisted of a copolymer of 4-N-ethyl-N-(2-methacryloxyethyl)amine-4'-nitro-azobenzene (MA1) and methyl methacrylate (MMA) obtained from AlliedSignal [43]. In the experiments, a free-standing 16 mm thick film, with dipolar alignment perpendicular to the surface was used [44].…”

“…The significant advantages of this technique are the capability of detection that is limited only by the optical bandwidth and the ability to calibrate the detected electric field. The former is especially true with the use of poled polymers, where the material response time is negligible [43,47]. Electro-optic sampling has recently been demonstrated as a technique for the coherent detection of freely propagating sub-millimeter wave radiation [48,49].…”

Reactivity and Polymerization Ability of Styrylquinoline Containing Methacrylic Monomers

“…Photopolymers are studied for their macromolecular properties and for the properties of the photosensitive group. Among them, polymers having photochromic dyes, such as azo, cinnamoyls, chalcones, coumarins, spyrooxazines, diarylethenes, etc., represent an active field of research in polymer science because of their technological applications in the fields of photolithography, nonlinear optical materials, liquid crystalline materials, and holographic elements [1][2][3][4][5].…”

Electro-Optical Properties in Thin Films of New Azobenzene Polymers

“…Previous years an intensive research was devoted to the study of second order nonlinear optical (NLO) response of azobenzene containing polymer systems [16,17].…”
