Comparison of simple theory and experiment on the electro-optic coefficient of high dipole moment materials

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

Intermolecular electrostatic interactions among chromophores inhibit the introduction of acentric chromophore order (ACQ) by electric field poling. We outline a statistical-mechanical approach to estimating the ACO and the effects of molecular shape. Examples are compared to theory and shown to improve ACO.
