Development of Polyimides-Based NLO Materials for Electrooptical ApplicationsDevelopment of thermally stable optical materials for nonlinear optics have recently focused on the covalent incorporation of NLO chromophores into high performance polymers, especially thermally stable and processable polyamides. One key aspect for the incorporation of robust NLO chromophores into high Tg polymers is to sustain poling induced order. Other advantages include high loading level of chromophores, and elimination of possible phase separation as well as chromophore sublimation at processing or working temperature. We have prepared several polyimide based polymers which are covalently linked with thermally stable chromophores that we have developed, since polyamides generally exhibit high Tg and good film transparency. Here, we report the development and subsequent incorporation of indoline based chromophores into polyamides, leading to thermally stable NLO polymers.
