Abstract
It is well known that strong second order nonlinearity can be induced in polymer/dye systems (blends or copolymers) by the poling technique. Application of a strong electrostatic field at elevated temperature causes partial orientational alignment of the dipolar dye molecules, leading to asymmetry nonlinearity along the direction of the applied field.
