SBAC

The shapes of the orbitals for the other molecules of Fig. 2 are shown in Fig. 5. Molecules B and C of Fig. 2 have donors at the both ends. For B and C in Fig. 5, HOMO-1 spreads somewhat into extremities, and electron-hole symmetry does not hold either between HOMO and LUMO nor between HOMO-1 and LUMO-i-1. These shapes are beneficial for %(3). However, the orbital HOMO does not spread into the extremities. This means that transition from HOMO-1 to HOMO does not have so much moment as that of SBA. The orbital shape for molecules B and C is not so good as SBA. With respect to the orbitals of the molecules E and F, both HOMO and HOMO-1 spread, and the electron-hole symmetry does not hold. These are beneficial for Molecules D, E and F, which have amino at both ends and have nitrogen atoms at the X positions of Fig. 1, are expected to have large third order susceptibilities. These results correspond well with the experimental fact that their measured X is large and as good as conjugated polymers. The x values of SBA and SBAC, which is dichloro SBA, are 1.0 X 10 esu and 1.3 x lO" esu. The X( ) of PU-STAD is 1.5 X 10 esu, which is a derivative of molecule F in Fig. 2. 

If the molecule is in a condition where the polarized excited state is stabilized owing to some polar circumstances, this further increases X - For the polymer including SBAC structure in the main chain, the x spectrum does not maximize at the peak point of the absorption spectrum but maximizes at a lower energy point than the peak in Fig. 8 of ref. 15. We guess this is because the amorphous structure of this polymer produces a nonsymmetric condition for each finite Jt-conjugation, which stabilizes the charge separation, at the low energy side of the exited state.

Among the many types of processible NLO polymers, polyurethane with symmetrical substituted tris-azo dye with fluorinated alkyl units (PSTF for short) was selected as a waveguide material. PSTF is a novel third-order NLO main-chain polyurethane with tris-azo dye incorporated into the main chain with a fluorinated alkyl backbone [40]. This polymer is similar to the SBAC polymer family whereby a symmetrically substituted 7t-conjugated molecule was incorporated in a main-chain polymer. Azo dye is an effective NLO dye investigated by many researchers and the tris-azo dye is very special for NLO applications. Fluorinated alkyl units are expected to be effective for reducing the polymer...
