ABSTRACTIonically self-assembled monolayer (ISAM) films have been shown to spontaneously produce noncentrosymmetric ordering that gives rise to a substantial second order nonlinear optical (NLO) response. Typically, the ISAM films for NLO response are an assemblage of bilayers of oppositely charged polymers whose thickness can be controlled through variation of pH and ionic strength of the immersion solutions. Here, we investigate the effects of replacing the NLO-active polymer layers with layers of monomeric chromophores containing ionic and covalent bonding sites. Films fabricated exclusively using polyelectrolytes contain some fraction of both randomly oriented and anti-parallel oriented chromophores. We have examined the incorporation of monomeric chromophores into ISAM films in order to increase the net polar orientation of the chromophores and reduce bilayer thickness.

ABSTRACTAlternating polyelectrolyte deposition (APD) is a room temperature process that can be used to produce noncentrosymmetric ordered films of nonlinear optical polymers (NLOP). In this study, second-order NLOP APD films of a stilbazolium-substituted polyepichlorohydrin, poly (diallyldimethylammonium chloride), and polyacrylic acid were prepared by alternately dipping a substrate into aqueous solutions of each polymer. Evidence for uniform layer to layer deposition includes a linear increase of UV-Visible absorbance, thickness measurements, and quadratic increase of second harmonic generated light intensity as a function of film thickness. Films have been uniformly deposited up to 0.1 micrometer thick. The surface morphology, roughness, and film thickness have been characterized by Tapping Mode Atomic Force Microscopy (TM AFM ). Work is in progress to deposit thicker films of the same quality and to improve NLO figures of merit.
