Notes:
In a polyconjugated main chain polymer strip waveguide the nonlinear, nonresonant refractive index n2 was measured by monitoring the signal spectrum broadening due to self-phase modulation. The two photon absorption coefficient α2 was obtained by calibrating the inverse transmission measurement. The nonlinear coefficients were determined to be n2=0.85×10−14 cm−2/W andα2=0.08 cm/GW at a wavelength λ=885.6 nm. The used polymer was poly[1,4-phenylene1,2-di(phenoxyphenyl)vinylene]. The result is in good agreement with interferometer measurements. The material is suitable for all-optical switching. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.
