Nonlinear Optical Devices: Relative Status of Polymeric Materials

  • Chapter
Frontiers of Polymer Research

Abstract

Activity in nonlinear optics of polymer materials has been escalating for the last five years, driven by potential applications the most promising of which are:

  1. 1.

    Efficient second harmonic generation of GaAs-based semiconductor lasers for data storage and xerography;

  2. 2.

    All-optical signal processing for information manipulation in the all-optical domain;

  3. 3.

    Optical limiting for sensor protection.
