Doped Polymers as Third-Order Nonlinear-Optical Materials
Keyword(s):
ABSTRACTRecently, there has been much interest in doped polymeric materials owing to their suitability for optical device applications.[1] While most of this effort has been centered on poled polymers and their applications to electrooptics, doped polymers are beginning to emerge as a promising material class for all-optical device applications. In this contribution, we discuss the status of doped polymers as third-order optical materials. Particular attention is focused on those properties that make doped polymers attractive as device materials such as optical nonlinearity and loss and their suitability for nonlinear-optical fiber devices.
