Abstract

There is much interest in materials with a large second-order non-linear susceptibility. 1.2 Work has been recently pub- lished3 on the synthesis and non-linear optical properties of nitro amino stilbenes. We report here some of our work on similar type molecules which were tailor made for incorpora- tion into Langmuir-Blodgett multilayers. Materials with significant second-order non-linear optical properties are composed of molecules which have a large difference in ...
