Simultaneous determination of average direction of molecular orientation and effective second order nonlinear optical constant (/d(super eff)/) by phase measurements of second harmonic generation
Article Abstract:
A new analytical method of molecular orientation in films that uses phase measurement of second harmonic generation (SHG) with a theoretical curve fitting, and assists in obtaining the average direction of the molecules and the absolute value of the effective second-order nonlinear optical constant (/d(super eff)/) simultaneously, is described. Comparison of the values of /d(super eff)/ obtained with the new method and those obtained using the Maker fringe measurement demonstrate the accuracy of the new method.

X-ray diffraction studies of multiple orientation in poly(9,9-bis(2-ethylhexyl)fluorene-2,7-diyl) thin films
Article Abstract:
The structural investigation of poly(9,9-bis(2-ethylhexyl)fluorine-2,7-diyl) (PF2/6) in aligned thin films is reported. It is concluded that PF2/6 shows a highly ordered self-assembled structure in macroscopically high quality films and shed new light on the optimization of liquid crystalline conjugated polymers.
