Abstract
Poled-polymer investigations largely concentrate on the electro-optic effect since most proposed devices are phase controlled. Relatively few papers discuss the concurrent electro-absorption effect.1-5 The well-known resonant enhancement of electro-refraction near the chromophore absorption band also leads to increased electro-absorption. One might significantly over- or under-estimate the electro-optic coefficient if electro-absorption is ignored.
