Organic and Nonlinear Optical Materials Symposium

Abstract

The Premise for the conference was the photonics is an emerging technology physics, chemistry, optics, and materials science for optical information and signal transmission and processing. The materials and phenomena of interest enable a variety of functions including optical frequency and amplitude modulation, parametric processes such as frequency conversion and amplification, switches between signal paths, analog and digital computing functions, and a variety of signal processing functions. The conference was organized into the following topical areas: (1) second order nonlinear optics - materials, design, synthesis, fabrication, characterization, and processing into device structures. (2) third order nonlinear optics - fundamental mechanisms, materials, processing, applications, devices. (3) polymers in fiber optics - cladding, guiding, properties, applications. (4) molecular assembly approaches - Langmuir Blodgett and molecular self assembly as a means of controlling thin film architecture. (5) polymers in microsensors.
