Organic Materials for Third‐Order Nonlinear Optics

Abstract: The current status of organic low-molecular weight and polymeric materials for third-order nonlinear optics is reviewed. The importance of organic materials lies in their promise of large nonlinear optical figure of merit, high optical damage thresholds, ultrafast optical responses, architectural flexibility, and ease of fabrication. Organic materials exhibiting interesting third-order nonlinear optical properties are discussed to illustrate the importance of structure-property correlations. Results on emergin… Show more

“…As for media with high cubic nonlinearity, one may rely on further progress in the area of synthesis of new nonlinear materials based on polymers with conjugated bonds where significant successes have been achieved in recent years (see, e.g., [10,11]). As can be easily shown, the strength of the electric field E 0 produced in the medium with cubic susceptibility χ (3) by a coherent superposition of two harmonics with approximately equal amplitudes E is given, to within an order of magnitude, by E 0 ∼ χ (3) E 3 .…”

“…Now, presently available active anti-epileptic drugs like tiagabine, etizolam, brotizolam are containing thiophene moiety in their structures as active pharmacophore (Polivka et al, 1984;Noguchi et al, 2004). Thiophene-containing compounds are known as materials with potential applications in the flavor (Guentert et al, 2010) and pharmaceutical industries (Press, 1991), in conducting polymer design (Bloor, 1995), as well as in NLO materials (Nalwa, 1993). Thiophene derivatives are also often used as intermediates in a wide range of areas of synthetic chemistry.…”
