Nonlinear Liquid Crystal Polymer and Its Applications① SHI Yongji (Luoyang Technolog~College．Luoyang 471003．CHN) Abstract：The transparent solid medium of a thermotmpic liquid crystal polymer ha a comb structure of mesogenic side cha ins which exhibit a nonlinear opti~l re． spo nse of electronic origin．The main chain of the liquid crystal po lyme~ can be selected fr。m a number of suitable po lymerized monomeric and oomonomerlc structures such as po lyvinyl，polysiloxane_polyoxyalkylens ．polyester etc．The electrooptic llght modulator is provided．which have potential to using in the systems of l er modulation and deflec— lion．and information contml in optical ci~uitry etc． Keywords：Nonlinear Optics，Liquid Crystal P~ymer，Electrooptic Light Modulator 1 IntrOductiOn It is known that organic and po lymeric materials with large delocalizedⅡ．electron systems can exhibit nonlinear optical respo nse．In addition ，the properties of organic and polymeric materials can be optimized to improve the mechanical and thermo-oxidative stability．and Ifigh laser damage threshold and preservation，so as to be caused the interaction between the electrons by nonlinear optical effects．T n films of organic or polymeric materials With large se~nd order nonlinearities com bined with silicon·based elec tronic circuitry have potential to using the s~ tems of hser modu． 1afion and deflection,and information co ntrol in optical circuitry etc． Of particular importance for conjugaled organic systems is the fact that the origin of the nonlinear effects is the pohri~tion of the elec tron cbud． The nonlinear liquid crystal po lymem consist of the main chain po lymers and the side c}min mesogens·The main chain carl be selected fmm a number of suitable polymerized m0n0merjc and comonomerm structures such as po lyvinyl—po lysiloxane，po lyoxyalkylene．po lyester etc． The me．so． gens have a comb structure which exhibit a second order non linear optical susceptib[1ity 0f about 5 × 1O— es u at least
