Abstract

Reliability to forecast SHG efficiency using two sets of non linear optical (NLO) chromophore figures of merit (FOM) was tested. One of them predicts that SHG efficiency d 33 of the poled guest-host polymer is proportional to ground state dipole ∼ μg, another to ∼ 1/μg. Correlation of maximal achieved second order NLO efficiency of the PMMA based systems containing eight dimethylaminobenzylidene-1, 3-indandione (DMABI) related chromophores with proposed FOM have been analyzed. The best correlations were obtained with second set of FOM, especially if high dipole moment (μg > 7D) chromophores are included in analysis.
