Abstract

To improve the stabilities and processabilities, blend or graft polymerization of nonlinear optical organic materials with polymers has been intensively studied by many researchers (1-3). However, it was pointed out that there remain problems in the durability (4). To the contrary, the main-chain type nonlinear optical polymers are expected to be durable and good nonlinear optical materials for various applications, because these materials have been developed to be high performance materials.
