In poly(vinylidene difluoride) (PVDF)-based polymers, the alignment of dipoles of the crystalline $$β$$ phase with alltrans conformations is responsible for ferroelectricity; however, there is a lack of direct spectroscopic evidence for this phenomenon. We report in situ monitoring of the molecular orientations associated with ferroelectric responses of PVDF-based polymers using vibrational sum frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy. The orientation of CH₂ groups with respect to the -(CH₂CF₂)_n^- chain axis of the poled $$β$$ domains in a PVDF copolymer was determined from the SFG dependence of an uniaxially aligned sample on the laser polarization and azimuthal angle. The relative intensities of CH₂ symmetric and asymmetric stretch modes as well as their total intensities revealed the transformation of the all-trans conformation domains during the electrical poling of PVDF based co- and terpolymer films.
