Strategy for Optimization of Molecular Materials for Nonlinear Optics and Photonics

摘要: The objective of our research is to develop a fundamental understanding relationship between chemical structure and nonlinear optical properties in order optimize molecular materials for applications the newly emerging technology photonics. We have developed comprehensive program Photonics Research Laboratory where strategy optimization includes four principal stages: (i) at level, (ii) bulk (iii) experimental studies, (iv) investigation device processes. This approach with an interactive feedback different stages has been key great success we achieved. In this article, provide examples accomplishments relation third-order nonlinearity.
