Abstract

Electrooptic polymers based on the chromophore Disperse Red and its derivatives in a matrix of polymethyl methacrylate and polyacrylate have been studied, and the limiting concentration of the chromophore has been determined. The optimum conditions have been found for creating anisotropy of the active layer by the method of polarization in a corona discharge. The degree of orientation of the chromophore and the temporal stability of the induced anisotropy have been investigated by measuring the optical absorption and the second-harmonic generation. Using the nanoimprint process, microstrip structures have been fabricated with a strip width of 5-50μm.
