Polymer compounds, compositions, nonlinear optical elements and light modulators

Abstract

The object of this invention is to provide a polymer compound whose filterability is improved by suppressing viscosity increase or gelation during heating and which has excellent thermal stability; to provide a composition comprising the polymer compound; to provide a nonlinear optical element made using the above composition; and to provide an optical modulator having the above nonlinear optical element and operating based on the electro-optic effect. This invention relates to a polymer compound comprising repeating units represented by the following formula (1). (The definitions of each base are as described in the specification.)
