Abstract
A key issue in the field of nonlinear optical polymers for second-order process is the achievement of a non-centrosymetric order. One challenging prospect is to achieve it by optical means in order to take full advantage of its rich processing capabilities. Indeed, the all-optical poling of polymers offers an interesting alternative to the realization of non-centrosymmetric structures. Of particular interest is the possibility to control extensively the spatial and tensorial properties of polymers using optical beams.1
