Abstract

A new diene-conjugated chromophore WJ1 was synthesized with high yield of 36% through an H-bonding induced Vilsmeier reaction. By simple guest-host doping, a large electro-optic efficiency of 337 pm V(-1) at 1310 nm and excellent temporal stability at 75 °C have been achieved in poled films of WJ1/APC with a high loading density of 40 wt%.
