We have designed and synthesized a new chromophore having a 1,1,7,7-tetramethyljulolidine fused furan ring as the electron donor group to systematically investigate the role of the benzo[b]furan ring in NLO chromophores.

ABSTRACTThe objective of this investigation was to develop stable nonlinear optical (NLO) Materials which possess both second and third order NLO properties. These Materials were envisioned as having a polydiacetylene (PDA) backbone with a second order active NLO chromophoric substituent consisting of a donor group, a π-conjugated bridge, and an acceptor group. The choice of a PDA backbone in this investigation was twofold. In terms of third order NLO properties, the extensive π-conjugation of the PDA backbone leads to large ultrafast third order effects. In terms of second order NLO properties, the high thermal stability and rigidity of the PDA Matrix in a perfect polymeric single crystal is expected to prevent the randomization of the NLO chromophores in the noncentrosymmetric environment. This paper focuses on the synthesis and NLO properties of the unsymmetrical diacetylene Monomers, ((9-Butoxy carbonyl) Methyl urethanyl) -l- (4-urethanyl-4'-nitrobiphenyl) -nona-2,4-diyne, and ((9-Butoxy carbonyl) Methyl urethanyl) -l- (4-urethanyl-4'-nitroazobenzene) -nona-2,4-diyne. The high entropy flexible urethanyl side group was chosen to satisfy the monomer packing requirements for polymerization and enhance the solubility of the PDAs.

ABSTRACTThree approaches to the construction of high-Tg polyimides and polyureas as second-order NLO materials are discussed. In the first approach, copolymerization of bismaleimides with o,o‚-diallylbisphenol-A followed by functionalization with high-β NLO chromophores using a Mitsunobu procedure yields, after poling and curing, a series of heavily crosslinked chromophoric polyimides with Tg values as high as 320°C and partially resonant χ(2) responses as high as 1.0×10-7 esu (42 pm/V at 1064 nm, 1.17 eV). In the second two approaches, copolymerization of the chromophore 4,5-bis(4‚-aminophenyl)-2-(4„- nitrophenyl)imidazole with bismaleimides or diisocyanates yields polyimides and polyureas with Tg values as high as 292°C and partially resonant χ(2)values as high as 0.62× 10-7 esu(25 pm/V at 1064 nm). It is found that careful attention to the details of curing and crosslinking during poling results in NLO- active matrices exhibiting negligible decay in ( on aging in air at 100°C for periods of 1,000-4,000 h. The imidazole based materials exhibit only about 10% χ(2) decay on aging for 100 h at 200°C under N2.
