FUNCTIONALIZED HETEROAROMATIC COMPOUNDS FOR NONLINEAR OPTICAL APPLICATIONS

摘要

Heteroaromatic nonlinear optical compounds, alone, and in combination with a chemically inert medium to provide a combination exhibiting second order nonlinear optical properties, including combinations that dispose a layer of the nonlinear optical compounds on chemically inert substrates, blend guest molecules of the nonlinear optical compounds with a chemically inert host matrix of a thermoplastic polymer, or covalently bond pendant side chains of the nonlinear optical compounds to chemically inert polymers.
