Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
Chiral organic polymers doped with or appended by nonlinear optical dyes are disclosed. The use of chiral polymers produces a more stable noncentrosymmetric, environment for the dye molecules resulting in unexpectedly long relaxation times as, compared with previously used organic polymers. In addition the NLO/chiral , polymer, materials exhibit high electro-optical coefficients (r33) high nonlinear , optical coefficients, (d33) improved long-term thermal stability, and at the same time retain the processing, advantages associated with organic polymers. Thus the present NLO/chiral , polymer, materials are extremely well-suited for use in second-order nonlinear optical and, …

Listed from its CIPO record in Patent Yard's archive of Canadian patents past their term. Its claims, description and drawings are in the CIPO record and on Google Patents, and the Claude kit works from them.
Why it's free to use
- Filed March 8, 2000. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended March 8, 2020.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by March 8, 2022.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
