Azo-type optically active compounds and polymers are provided based on compounds of the general structure wherein aryl substituents are introduced which hinder or prohibit rotation around the single bonds of the --N=-- central moiety (as well as around certain other single bonds), to provide "planarized" structures having improved optically active properties, especially electro-optically active properties. These compounds and polymers find use in optically active waveguides.
