Abstract

In this paper, an ultrafast optical switching for thin polymer films (polyarylans with allylic groups) is presented. It was realized using the Nd:YAG Sagnac interferometer. Investigated polymers appeared to be suitable candidates for elements of integrated optical telecommunication systems.
