Abstract
The conjugated polycyanamide (PCN) was successfully prepared by radio frequency glow discharge techniques. The structure of PCN was characterized by means of Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), UV-Visible absorption spectra and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), which revealed that extensive conjugation was formed in the polymer PCN. The subpicosecond time-resolved optical Kerr effect (OKE) was used to measure the third-order optical nonlinearity of PCN samples. For the first time, an ultrafast response and nonresonant optical Kerr effect of plasma polymer PCN was observed.
