Abstract

This invention relates to acrylic polymers and more specifically to polyalamides and polyacrylates such as poly{(2-[(N-2-methyl-5-nitrophenylamino)ethyl acrylate]} and poly[(N-2-methyl-4-nitrophenyl)acrylamide]. These acrylic polymers are particularly useful as nonlinear optical components in various electrical devices for processing optical signals including interferometors, optical switches, optical amplifiers, generators, computational devices and the like.
