Abstract
Carbon dioxide is used in induce glass transition in amorphous polymer films, allowing efficient alignment of chromophores with an applied electric field. The noncentrosymmetric films thus produced are capable of second-harmonic generation. This method has advantages over previously investigated poling schemes, including poling at ambient temperatures and use of high glass transition temperature polymers.Keywords
