Abstract
In epoxy based polymeric nonlinear optical (NLO) materials, the nonlinear optically active moiety forms crosslink between polymer chains. Some of the important moieties include 4, 4'diamino diphenyl sulfone (DADS). We have examined second harmonic generation (SHG) in DADS and have compared it with 4, 4'diamino diphenyl methane (DADM). The geometry optimization suggests that both molecules have Λ-shaped structure. The theoretical calculations as well as experimental observations of SHG in both the molecules suggest the suitability of DADS over DADM for making polymeric NLO materials.
