Abstract
The crosslinked polyurethane PU-W was prepared by the reaction of poly[(phenylisocyanate)-co-formaldehyde] and hydroxy-functionalized hemicyanine-type NLO chromophore. For the poled and cured polymer the χ(2) value was 30.2 pm/V measured at a wavelength of 1.064 μm. Thermal stability studies performed on PU-PV sample by the second harmonic generation activity indicated a nearly no decay of χ(2) value due to the lattice hardening of the polyurethane matrix with three bonding sites. The relaxation behaviors of aligned dipoles in PU-PV were also studied by varying poling and crosslinking conditions.
