Abstract
Recently, there has been hectic research activity in search of organic materials which show promising non-linear optical properties.1–5 Polydiacetylenes (PDAs) attracted special attention as a candidate material for third order non-linear optical properties (χ 3). This interest is due to the fact that PDAs show large third order non-linear optical susceptibility, with a fast response time. Additional supporting and important features of PDAs are that they can be obtained in single crystal form or LB films and it is possible to tune their optical properties through “Molecular and crystal engineering” through a variety of sidegroups.
