Abstract

Organic and polymeric materials have emerged in recent years as candidatesfor advanced device and systems applications. This interest has arisen fromthe promise of extraordinary optical, structural, and mechanical propertiesof certain organic materials, and from the fundamental success of moleculardesign performed to create new materials.

Our approach to the problem is to develop an understanding of the molecularbasis of non-linear optical activity, incorporate the most promisingcandidates into tractable polymers, and evaluate these materials in deviceformat. This paper will review some of the recent developments in the NLOmaterials effort at Hoechst Celanese.
