Abstract

Aiming at future photonic device, we have studied on the improvement of third-order nonlinear optical properties of polydiacetylene crystals. For molecular design, we could prepared a variety of ladder-type PDAs to have larger χ(3) values. For morphological engineering, we have established the effective and simple reprecipitation method to prepare organic microcrystals with controlled size and shape. The highly concentrated poly(DCHD)-microcrystal thin film with good optical quality and large area could be obtained, and the films were found to show three order of magnitude larger χ(3) compared with the original water dispersion. In the Fabry-Perot experiment, materials based on PDA microcrystals were found to show the possibility for achieving the optical switching devices.
