Abstract
Organic materials are widely studied for photonic applications because of their large nonlinear-optical (NLO) coefficients and their ease of fabrication.1 Poled polymer films are particularly attractive candidates for photonic applications, such as optical switches and modulators. NLO effects arise from hyperpolarizable constituent chromophores that are macroscopically aligned by an applied electric field.2
