Nonlinear optical properties of conjugated molecules (original) (raw)

Quadratic Nonlinear Optical Properties of Polymeric Organic Materials

MRS Proceedings, 1992

ABSTRACTWe discuss our rational approach to incorporate optically nonlinear molecules into polymeric and cross-linked materials through the use of isocyanate-hydroxy coupling chemistry. Thin film fabrication, optical loss, poling, second harmonic generation, and electro-optic properties are discussed.

Nonlinear Optics and Organic Materials

Chemtech, 1989

Abstract: The origin and nature of nonlinear optical effects in organic and polymeric materials is discussed. Approaches to the applications of these nonlinear optical effects in prototypical devices is explored. In glancing through a flat windowpane we immediately ...
