Abstract

We report the synthesis and characterization of a new, low-Tg polymer exhibiting the photorefractive effect. The photorefractive polymer contains a second-order nonlinear optical chromophore, a charge transporting group, and a long aliphatic chain covalently linked to the polymer backbone. A sensitizer (C60) was molecularly doped into the polymer to facilitate photocharge generation. The photoconductivity, electrooptic (Pockels) effect, and photorefractive properties of the polymer are reported.
