Bulk Electro-Optical Polymer ComponentPolymer serves in high-voltage sensors and laser-beam modulators. Electro-optical polymer of relatively low cost formed as bulk specimen from azo dye 4-(4-nitrophenylazo)-N-ethyl, N-2-hydroxyethylaniline, also known as Disperse Red 1 or DR1, and transparent epoxy. More stable than prior electro-optical polymers based on DR1 and poly(methylmethacrylate). If polymer were sandwiched between electrodes, it provides direct measurement of high voltage via electro-optical effect. Has significant nonlinear optical properties. Material useful in microelectronics, micro-optics, integrated optics, and testing of materials. Polymer withstands electric fields up to 120 kV/cm.
