Abstract
A new type of thermally stable second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) polycyanurate was synthesized by coupling Disperse Red 1 to the aryl hydroxyl-containing linear polycyanurate, which was prepared by the interfacial polymerization of 2-(4-(2-tetrahydropyranyloxy)phenyl)-4,6-dichloro-1,3,5-s-triazine with bisphenol A and by subsequent deprotection of tetrahydropyranyl groups. The new NLO polycyanurate exhibited a glass transition at 167°C and an initial thermal decomposition at about 300°C. The electro-optic coefficients of NLO polycyanurate poled at 1 MV cm−1 were 19 pm V−1 at 633 nm, 13 pm V−1 at 830 nm, and 6 pm V−1 at 1.3 μm. The stability of NLO activity was demonstrated at elevated temperatures.
