CHOLESTERIC PHOTOACTIVE COMPOUND FOR GENERATING LASER EMISSION Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC C09K9/02 C08L33/08 H01S3/16 

FIELD: physics, photographic material.

SUBSTANCE: invention pertains to polymer cholesteric photoactive compounds, which can independently generate laser emission when irradiated with laser light. Such a compound can be used, for example, in photonics, optoelectronics and telecommunication systems. The cholesteric photoactive compound for generating laser emission consists of cholesteric liquid crystal, photoactive additive and laser dye. The liquid crystal used contains conjoint polymer n-(6-acrylyl oxycapril hydroxyphenyl)-n-methoxy benzoate with cholesterine-11-acrylyl undecanoate, containing molar quantities between 30% and 25% of the cholesterine-11-acrylyl undecanoate links. Photoactive additive used is 2.5-bis(4-methoxy cynnamoyl)-1.4;3.6-dianhydro-B-sorbitol, while the laser dye used is 4-(dicyano methylene)-2-methyl-6-(4-dimethyl amino styryl)-4H-pyran. The invention improves the temporal and thermal stability of the compound, and allows for its use at room temperatures and at lower temperatures as well. Sensitivity of the compound to external effects is also lowered.

EFFECT: increased thermal stability of photoactive compounds and lower sensitivity to external effects.
