ABSTRACT:
The present disclosure is in part directed to optical devices for modulating light comprising compounds which spontaneously align. The disclosure is also directed to electro-optic compounds wherein chromophore substituents are chemically bound to a chiral polymer. In one embodiment, the chiral polymer comprises a binaphthyl monomeric unit.
