Techniques for Ultrastructure Synthesis: Preparation of Second Order Nonlinear Optical Materials

  • Chapter
Frontiers of Polymers and Advanced Materials

Abstract

Pi-electron organic materials have long been considered promising candidates for the fabrication of nonlinear optical devices such as electro-optic modulators and frequency doublers.1 The main advantages of organic materials have been stated to be their large optical nonlinearities together with ease and low cost of processing into various device forms. Other advantages include relatively high laser damage thresholds.
