Abstract
Coumarin dyes such as alkylaminocoumarincarboxamides which have functional hydroxyl groups or which are chemically attached to vinyl monomers such as methacrylic acid. The dyes which are chemically attached to vinyl monomers can be copolymerized, e.g. with acrylic monomers to produce a coumarin dye-containing polymer. The dyes which have functional hydroxyl groups can be reacted with an existing polymer or copolymer, e.g. a copolymer of styrene and acrylic acid to esterify the acid groups of the polymer to form a coumarin dye-containing polymer. Such coumarin dye-containing polymers are formed into films and fibers which when poled in an electric field yield a film or fiber with nonlinear optical properties.
