2004, Advanced Functional Materials
AI-generated Abstract
This paper explores the development of poled sol-gel materials featuring heterocycle push-pull chromophores that provide enhanced second-order optical nonlinearity (NLO). It discusses the importance of integrating these chromophores into non-centrosymmetric solid-state materials for effective electro-optical applications, highlighting their superior properties compared to traditional materials like lithium niobate. The synthesis of specific chromophores and their incorporation into a sol-gel matrix is detailed, aiming to show the potential for high-performance photonics applications.
