Abstract: A new type of organic chromophore group/SiO2-TiO2 second-order nonlinear optical(NLO) materials has been obtained by sol-gel process. The research by X-ray energy dispersion spectrum(EDS) and Transmission electronic microscope(TEM) shows that the hybrid sol particles consist of SiO2, TiO2 and the organic chromophore group, and the size of the particles is about 20-80 nm. The second-order nonlinear optical polarizability χ(2) of the poled hybrid films is 1.43×10-7 esu according to one dimensional rigid oriented gas model(1DROGM). The poled film exhibits a good orientation stability, and its glass transition temperature can reach 469 K. The crystallization and micro-structure of hybrid films were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atom force microscope(AFM), and the mesostructure was discovered in the NLO hybrid films.
