Abstract

Nonlinear optical phenomena have been investigated over the last threedecades in many different materials and a great deal of progress has beenmade in both the basic science and device applications.(1] Although interestin nonlinear organic materials dates back to the early days of nonlinearoptics, it is only in the last five years that progress has been sustainedand rapid. The purpose of this paper is to examine progress in developingnew nonlinear organic materials and in their application to devices forcomparison with current state-of-the-art devices using other materialsystems.
