Dye orientation in organic guest host systems on ferroelectric polymers

The orientation of NLO chromophores in a polymer lightguide may be influenced by a ferroelectric sublayer. The multilayer system is investigated towards the in-situ recording of the birefringence introduced by a poling procedure. The ITO electrode is characterized with respect to its losses, the stress induced birefringence during heating is also evaluated.© (1991) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
