Hyperbranch polymer for nonlinear optics and material for nonlinear optics containing the same

Abstract

The invention provides a hyperbranch polymer for nonlinear optics comprising a secondary nonlinear optically active dye atomic moiety that is regularly or irregularly bound to at least one selected from the group consisting of a branching unit of a hyperbranch polymer, a linear unit of a hyperbranch polymer and a terminal unit of a hyperbranch polymer. The invention further provides an organic functional material which comprises a hyperbranch polymer as defined above or a combination of plural hyperbranch polymers as defined above in a mixed state or in a chemically bound state. The organic functional material is excellent in function performance such as nonlinear optical function, amorphous property, heat resistance, and sublimation resistance.
