Optical third-harmonic generation from poly-(2,5-dimethoxy p-phenylene vinylene) thin film

Third-harmonic generation has been measured in poly(2,5-dimethoxy p-phenylene vinylene) thin film. The third-order optical susceptibility, χ(3), was evaluated to be 5.4×10−11 esu at 1.85 μm wavelength. This χ(3) value is about one order higher than that for poly(p-phenylene vinylene) and almost the...

Description
Summary:Third-harmonic generation has been measured in poly(2,5-dimethoxy p-phenylene vinylene) thin film. The third-order optical susceptibility, χ(3), was evaluated to be 5.4×10−11 esu at 1.85 μm wavelength. This χ(3) value is about one order higher than that for poly(p-phenylene vinylene) and almost the same value as for poly(n-BCMU diacetylene) which possesses the highest χ(3) value among processible (solvent castable) polymeric materials.
