Novel Nonlinear Optical Polydiacetylenes Possessing Liquid Crystalline Properties for Ordered Thin Film Preparation

摘要

Technology is rapidly approaching the limits of electronic trarisrnission of information along electronic. pathways.,To counter this growing problem, the use oflphotoris jristead of electrons in data transmission is currently being%xpiored. Industry, government and academia have all developed ideas and techniques to incorporate optical circuitry into a variety of information forage and processing systems. Although these Ideas have been extensively researched there is one rnajor obstacle for the development of mainstream photonic devices: -currently there are no affordable and energy,efficient materials which can produce the nonlinear optical (NLO) responses,necessary for the development of such devices.
