Abstract

A nonlinear optical hyperbranched polyester (PE-Azo/Hyper) was synthesized from 4-[N,N-bis(hydroxyethyl)amino-4'-formyl] azobenzene and cyanoacetic acid by a Knoevenagel polycondensation using 4-(dimethylamino) pyridine as a base. The resulting polymer was soluble in polar aprotic solvents such as N,N-dimethylformamide and 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone and could be processed into optical quality films by spin coating. The molecular weight was determined to be $M_w$=61,800 ($M_W/M_n{=1.86}$) by gel permeation chromatography using polystyrene as a standard. No melting point was detected by differential scanning Calorimeter, indicating that this polymer presents an amorphous state. It shows a glass transition temperature of $121^{\circ}C$. The second-order nonlinear optical coefficient $d_{33}$ of the poled polymer determined by the second harmonic generation at 1064 nm was 25.4 pm/V.

새로운 개념의 초분지형 비선형 광학 고분자 (PE-Azo/Hyper)를 AB$_2$형의 기능기를 가지는 단량체 4-[N,N-bis(hydroxyethyl)amino-4'-formyl]azobenzene (CHO-DOH)으로부터 Knoevenagel 축중합 반응을 통하여 합성하였다. 겔크로마토그래피상에서 폴리스티렌을 기준시료로 측정된 중합체의 무게평균분자량은 M$_{w}$ =61,800 (M$_{W}$ /M$_{n}$=1.86)이었고 중합체의 용해도를 조사한 결과 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone, N,N-dimethylformamide 등의 반양자성극성 유기용매에 잘 녹았으며 따라서 이들 용매를 이용하여 양질의 박막성형이 가능하였다. 또한 열시차 분석법으로 중합체 PE-Azo/Hvper의 열적 성질을 조사한 결과 녹는점이 관찰되지 않아 무정형으로 판명되었으며 유리 전이 온도는 $121^{\circ}C$로 나타났다. 폴링에 의하여 극성 배향된 중합체 박막의 2차 비선형 계수를 Nd : YAG 레이저 (1064 nm)를 이용하여 Maker fringe 방법으로 측정한 결과 $d_{33}$= 25.4 pm/V로 비교적 높은 값을 나타내어 초분지형 고분자에서도 극성배향이 이루어져 비선형성이 발현됨을 관찰할 수 있었다.
