Paper Abstract
Many organic compounds in solid state have nonlinear optical properties due to the orientation of the molecules in a
polymer matrix. In this work, all-optical poling and second harmonic generation in a composition consisting of 1 mass%
of N,N-dimethylaminobenzylidene 1,3-indandione (DMABI) compound in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) matrix
were studied. Thin films were prepared by solvent casting. The 1.064-μm fundamental and 532-nm second harmonic
wavelengths of a Nd:YAG laser were used. It is shown that DMABI molecules can be oriented by the method of all-
optical poling, and that the process is related to the photoinduced switching between two equally stable states of the
molecule.
