Abstract
A dendritic chromophore was synthesized by one step method and doped in a high Tg amorphous polycarbonate (APC) as a
host for nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. The D-Π-A core in the dendritic chromophore was enwrapped by three dendrons.
This conformation reduced the intermolecular interactions of the chromophore and made films containing dendritic
chromophore was easier to orient along poling electric field. The poling conditions were investigated using simple reflection
technique measurements. This material shows relatively higher EO activities (γ33=334Pm/V). This chromophore also has
good solubility in APC host and better thermal stability.
