Low-temperature poling of dye-doped polymers for nonlinear optical devices
By repeating the corona poling process for several times, dye-doped polymer films were efficiently poled at temperatures significantly lower than T-g. High second-order NLO efficiency (e.g., d(33) around 100 pm/V) was obtained with a guest dye, 2-(p-diethylaminocinnamilidene)-indan-1,3-dione.
