Abstract
Experimental studies of nonlinear optical and electro-optical properties of original synthesized chromophore-doped polyimides with a covalently attached DR-13 dye are reported. Second harmonic generation measurements are compared with the results of direct electro-optical response measurements by the Teng–Man technique. High temperature stability of the examined polyimides is observed. Methods of creating a planar phase electro-optical modulator with the use of synthesized chromophore-doped polyimides are designed and elaborated. The optical and electro-optical characteristics of the modulator are presented.
