We present a study of the temperature dependence of absorption and electroabsorption spectra of a thin polydiacetylene single crystal 4BCMU poly[1,7 dodecadiyine- 1,12 diol-bis (4-butoxy carbonyl methyl urethane)] up to 450 K. Comparison with spectra of single chains diluted in a monomer single crystal reveals that the polymerization induces strong inhomogeneous broadening leading to two types of chains with exciton transition energies at 2 eV and 2.3 eV, respectively. Chains with transition energy at 2 eV transform into the other species near 380 K. The Stark effect of the excitons remains unchanged until the crystal is heated to 450 K where the spectra transform into the shape observed in spin cast films. These changes of the spectra are discussed in relation to the increasing disorder in the sample.
