文摘A non-linear optical(NLO) material was synthesized by means of a simple method.This material can be applied in electro-optical(EO) devices,such as EO switches and modulators.The Disperse Red 1(DR1) was doped in polymethyl-methacrylate-co-glycidyl methacrylate(PMMA-co-GMA) as the NLO active chromophore.The synthesis process and material structure were expressed.The thermal properties,surface morphology and optical characteristics of the material were investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry(DSC),thermogravimetric analysis(TGA),atomic force microscopy(AFM),and m-lines technique.Using the reflection technique,the value of the electro-optical coefficient γ 33 was measured as 11 pm/V at a wavelength of 1310 nm.An EO switch with nanosecond response based on this material has been fabricated.
