Abstract

The third-order non-linear optical susceptibility, χ(3), has been investigated at wavelengths of 602 and 580 nm for a 10:1 stretch-oriented uniaxial film of poly(p-phenylene vinylene) using femtosecond degenerate four wave mixing. A relatively large χ(3) with a subpicosecond response is observed. A large anisotropy in the χ(3) value is found, the largest component of χ(3) being along the draw direction.
