Spectroscopic characteristics, i.e. absorption, fluorescence, fluorescence excitation spectra, fluorescence decay time, fluorescence polarization degree of novel silicon-containing organic polymers including main chain anthracene groups were investigated. Three kinds of emission spectra were revealed and assigned to polaron-exciton, anthracene and anthracene dimer. The measured fluorescence polarization spectra gave evidence of directed excitation energy migration along the disordered polymeric chain. Strong quenching of anthracene fluorescence during the polaron-exciton lifetime was interpreted as a result of the interaction between two excitations that causes anthracene anion-radical formation. The third-order nonlinear susceptibility of the polymers in solution measured by the Z-scan technique at 1054nm is 190x10 - 1 4 cm 2 W - 1 .
