The synthesis and hyperpolarizabilities of a series of push-pull chromophores containing bis-(4-methoxyphenyl)-amine donor and efficient acceptors bridged with ring locked polyene are presented. The chromophores are readily soluble in common organic solvents and exhibit high thermal decomposition temperatures (highest Td = 330°C). Molecular hyperpolarizabilities (β) of the chromophores were measured by Hyper Rayleigh Scattering (HRS) at 1604 nm (highest β = 20,000 × 10 -30 esu). These chromophores can be used to develop electro-optic (EO) materials due to their large optical nonlinearities, good absorption characteristics, high thermal decomposition temperatures, and excellent solubility with organic solvents and polymeric materials.
