Hyperbranched architectures for NLO polymers
A new approach to NLO polymer architecture is investigated. A hyperbranched polymer containing NLO chromophores is synthesised in three steps. Measurement of the NLO response indicates a chi ((2)) value of 5 pm/V. Possible reasons for not achieving even higher values are discussed.
