High nonlinear optical response in 4-chlorothiazole-based azo dyes
摘要:
Four azo dyes showing high nonlinear optical properties were prepared based on a 4-chlorothiazole azo moiety functionalized with strong acceptor groups and/or further donor/acceptor groups along the conjugated backbone The effects of the acceptors as well as the lateral donor/acceptor groups upon absorption properties thermal stability and second order nonlinear optical activity were evaluated (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd All rights reserved
