Abstract

The rapidly developing optical telecommunications, optical signal processing, optical logic systems and need for very large optical storage capacity call for cheap and highly performant nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. Polymers in general and functionalized polymers in particular offer several advantages with respect to their inorganic counterparts, such as: low cost, easy processing, versatility and potentiality to ensure active and passive functions
