Systematic behavior of electro-optic chromophore photostability.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The wavelength dependence of the one-photon absorption-induced photodegradation rate has been measured from the visible to the near IR for a variety of electro-optic chromophore-doped polymers. Systematic behavior is identified. The lifetime of the electro-optic activity is found to increase exponentially over 4-6 orders of magnitude for wavelengths ranging from peak of absorption, typically in the visible, to ~1000 nm. Many popular chromophores developed for electro-optics over the past 10 years are compared.

Photostability of electro-optic polymers possessing chromophores with efficient amino donors and cyano-containing acceptors
The photostability of various electro-optic active guest–host polymers, doped with chromophores that possess very efficient cyano-containing acceptors and dialkyaminoor diarylamino-benzenes, and also their extended thiophene analogs as bridging structures, has been investigated over a broad wavelength range in the near infrared and the visible. A variation of over 2 orders of magnitude was foun...
متن کاملPhotodegradation of selected π-conjugated electro-optic chromophores
The photodegradation properties of six electro-optic chromophores in guest-host polymer formats were measured as a function of wavelength throughout the visible and up to 1.3 m in the near infrared. The chromophore structure was varied to provide insight into its relationship with photostability.

Recently, new theoretical design paradigms have facilitated the production of organic electro-optic materials that have been used to fabricate simple electro-optic devices characterized by halfwave voltages of less than 1 volt and demonstrated frequency response to above 100 GHz. Electrooptic circuitry has been vertically integrated with VLSI electronics and 3-D circuitry has been demonstrated....
متن کاملRevisiting organic optical nonlinearity leads to a new class of materials
In the late 1980s and 1990s, researchers in industry and academia became captivated by so-called organic nonlinear optical (ONLO) materials, as is evident from SPIE Proceedings of that period. The ultrafast response of the π-electrons of ONLO materials to time-dependent electric fields—which translates into active control of light—clearly afforded a unique opportunity vis-à-vis ultrahigh (terah...

Chromophores with optimized second-order optical nonlinearity to optical loss ratios are synthesized, poled with an electrical field, and coupled into hardened polymer matrixes. Acentric order, which is necessary for electro-optic activity, is optimized by the consideration of chromophore-chromophore electrostatic interactions as well as chromophore-poling field interactions and thermal collisi...
