Abstract
Poly(p-phenylenevinylene), abbreviated PPV, is a conjugated polymer having a very high third-order optical nonlinearity which we are investigating for possible use in ultrafast photonic switching at 800 nm [1]. A result from these investigations is that PPV can be very useful as an active material in devices used to diagnose very short laser pulses.
