Organic Nonlinear Optical Materials

Organic Nonlinear Optical Materials presents an extensive description of the preparation and characterization of organic materials for applications in nonlinear and electro-optics. The book discusses the fundamental optimization and practical limitations of a number of figures of merit for various optical parameters and gives a clinical appraisal of the potential of organic materials for applications in optical technology. Among the topics addressed are the basic molecular design of nonlinear optical choromophores, the fundamentals and novel techniques of organic crystal growth, preparation and the characterization of Langmuir-Blodgett and polymer film.
