Abstract

Abstract : Novel D–π–A–π–A′ chromophores with different substituents in the donor moiety were synthesized and NLO coefficients for composite polymer materials doped with them were measured. Abstract : Composite polymer materials doped with original push–pull chromophores with the quinoxaline core in the conjugated bridge have been developed. Chromophores with various substituents in the aniline donor moiety and tricyanofuran acceptor are characterized by high thermal stability and predicted values of first hyperpolarizability (up to 1000 × 10 −30 esu). Nonlinear optical (NLO) coefficient d 33 of corona-poled polymer films achieved 75 pm V −1 for materials doped with chromophore with N, N -dibutylamino-3-ethylbenzene donor at 25 wt% content, while doping with a similar chromophore with an additional bulky cyclohexylphenyl group in the acceptor leads to maximum d 33 value 97 pm V −1 for 40 wt% chromophore content and 65 pm V −1 for neat chromophore material. The temporal and thermal stabilities of the NLO response at room temperature and heating to 50 °C during 100 hours is shown to be high: for some polymer materials the value of d 33 remained almost constant for 24 months at room temperature and at least 94% of the response preserved after heating.
