Abstract

The third order nonlinear optical susceptibility, χ(3) of an open-shell and alternant polymer based on a π-conjugated polymer, poly(1,2-phenylenevinylene) bearing phenoxyl radicals at 4-position, was evaluated. The real and imaginary parts of χ(3) of the poly (1,2-phenylenevinylene) derivative were enhanced three orders of magnitude at ca. 680 nm and reached ca. 10-9 esu due to the phenoxyl radical formation.
