nonlinear optics, including guest-host systems, side chain polymers, main chain polymers, crosslinked polymers and chiral polymers. 1. 1. Introduction Nonlinear electromagnetic phenomena occur when the response of a medium (including the electric polarization and its time derivative, the current. Clear, integrated coverage of all aspects of nonlinear optics―phenomena, materials, and devices. Coauthored by George Stegeman, one of the most highly respected pioneers of nonlinear optics―with contributions on applications from Robert Stegeman―this book covers nonlinear optics from a combined physics, optics, materials science, and devices : Hardcover.

Designed for nonspecialists, Second-Order Nonlinear Optical Characterization Techniques: An Introduction focuses on the potential of second-order nonlinear optics as a powerful characterization tool.

Nonlinear optical processes will play the key role in photonics Where they can be used for frequency conversion, optical switching and modulation. Organic molecules and polymers have emerged as a new class of highly promising nonlinear optical materials Which .

In the past decade considerable effort has gone into the design, synthesis, and characterization of new materials for second-order nonlinear optics [1,2]. The driving force for much of this effort has been the recognition that extremely large hyperpolarizabilities were associated with certain aromatic π electronic systems [3–5] which could Author: David J. Williams, T. L. Penner, J. S. Schildkraut, N Tillman, Abraham Ulman, C. S. Willand. After basic ideas have been outlined, the book offers a thorough analysis of second harmonic generation and related second-order processes, before moving on to third-order effects, the nonlinear optics of short optical pulses and coherent effects such as electromagnetically-induced transparency. A simplified treatment of high harmonic Reviews: 3. A general approach to the synthesis of second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) polymides exhibiting high thermal stability has been developed. Several selected NLO chromophores have been incorporated into the polyimide backbone. Detailed physical studies showed that these polymers are very promising for practical by: 4.
