New poly(hydroxy ethers) have been prepared which exhibit an excellent combination of (a) high second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) activity (d{sub 33} of 20-28 x 10{sup -9} esu, 1064 nm, after parallel plate poling at E=0.5 MV/cm), (b) high glass transition temperatures Tg=150-200{degrees}C, (c) persistence of activity at 100{degrees}C, and (d) excellent processability. The NLO poly(hydroxy ethers) are prepared by the reactions of aromatic diglycidyl ethers with bisphenols that contain dipolar moieties based on nitrophenylhydrazones and other chromophores.
