Abstract
In search of waveguiding polymer films with both highly efficient NonLinear Optical (NLO) and optimum transmission properties the second harmonic generation of light is measured on poled films of P(VDF-TrFE) blended with 10% PMMA or covered by the polarizable guest-host system PαMS, both pure and doped with 2% NLO dye The PαMS films turn out to be stable electrets after annealing at about 50°C and poling at room temperature. They are thus particularly easily processable candidates for NLO and waveguiding applications.
