The presentation will highlight major advancements in organic electro-optic (EO) materials that are enabled by “click chemistry” based on the Diels-Alder reaction. To develop optimal organic EO materials, it needs to employ efficient and well-controlled chemistry and robust assembling mechanisms to create ordered arrangement of nonlinear optical chromophores. Diels-Alder “Click chemistry” offers the combined advantages of rapid, selective, free of catalyst, and high-yield that can be used for efficient lattice hardening and postfunctionalization of EO polymers and dendrimers. By taking advantages of this efficient reaction, the EO coefficients have reached ~380 pm/V, which is one order higher than the state-of-the-art inorganic material. This significant breakthrough will lead to a new paradigm of developing high bandwidth, low energy consumption, and light-weight devices for telecommunications, computation, and sensing applications. |
