The absorption and electroabsorption (EA) spectra for 4-(N,N-diethylamino)-β-nitrostyrene (DEANST)-doped poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) films in the dopant concentration range of 0.1–40 wt% were measured. Dispersion of the third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility χ(3)(-ω; 0,0,ω) at each concentration was determined. In addition, the static polarizability change Δα and the static dipole-moment change Δµ were evaluated. Furthermore, the picosecond emission-decay profiles and the time-resolved emission spectra for 0.1–40 wt% DEANST-doped PMMA films were measured. From the experimental results, it was concluded that DEANST molecules in PMMA films aggregate at concentrations over 5 wt%. This aggregation gives rise to two new absorption bands. The intermolecular interaction affected by aggregation causes a decrease in Δµ, in the average effective third-order molecular hyperpolarizability eff, and in the nonproportional behavior in |χ(3)(-ω;0,0,ω)| with increasing dopant concentration. Furthermore, this aggregation explains the absorption spectral change, the EA spectral shift and the existence of two emission-decay constants with concentration. Finally, the average aggregation number of DEANST molecules was evaluated to be two, which suggests that DEANST molecules in the PMMA film form a dimer at concentrations over 5 wt%.
