Background:

External electro-optic (EO) measurement systems are crucial for various sensing applications.
Enhancing the sensitivity of EO sensors is a key challenge in the field.
Poled polymers offer potential as EO sensor materials but require optimization.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose and demonstrate an optical-sensitivity-enhanced external electro-optic (EO) measurement system.
To improve the sensitivity of EO sensors by leveraging photoisomerization in poled polymers.
To investigate the use of a pumping laser to enhance and maintain noncentrosymmetric molecular orientation in EO polymers.

Main Methods:

Utilizing a poled polymer as the core EO sensor material.
Employing a pumping laser to induce photoisomerization in the prepoled EO polymer.
Measuring the enhancement in EO coefficient and overall EO measurement sensitivity.

Main Results:

The photoisomerization process successfully enhanced and maintained noncentrosymmetric molecular orientation.
The EO coefficient of the polymer was increased, leading to improved EO measurement sensitivity.
Experimental results with a DR1/PMMA EO sensor demonstrated a sensitivity improvement of at least a factor of 2.

Conclusions:

The proposed method effectively enhances EO measurement sensitivity using photoisomerization in poled polymers.
This technique offers a viable approach to significantly improve the performance of EO sensors.
The findings suggest a promising pathway for developing more sensitive optical measurement systems.
