Poled electro-optic photolime gel polymer doped with chlorophenol red and bromomethyl blue chromophores

An electro-optic polymer with chlorophenol red dye and type-A photolime gel was demonstrated. The electro-optic coefficient γ33 in the direction of the poling field was measured to be 28 pm/V. Chlorophenol red in polymer showed a 1/e relaxation time constant of 820 h, which is more stable than other dye demonstrated previously to be electro-optic in the same polymer.
