Abstract

This letter reports a new class of nonlinear optical (NLO) chromophores, of which 2-dicyanomethylen-3-cyano-4-{2-[2-(4-(N,N-di(2-hydroxyethyl)-amino)phenylazo)-thien-5]-E-vinyl}-5,5-dimethyl-2,5-dihydrofuran (2a) is the prototype with high thermal stability and large optical nonlinearity. Chromophore 2a was synthesized based on the azothiophene conjugated spacer and TCF electron-withdrawing acceptor, and characterized by IR, UV-Vis, MS and NMR spectra. A high decomposition temperature of 244 °C was determined by TGA measurement, and a first hyperpolarizability (zero-frequency hyperpolarizability, β₀) as large as 800 × 10^{- 30} esu was estimated by HRS technology.
