High-Performance Nonlinear Optical Material Developed in Japan

Abstract

As reported by this newspaper based on announcement by the Asahi Glass Corporation of Japan, the world's best performing nonlinear optical material was developed by the Asahi Corporation. The nonlinear three- dimensionality of this new material is 1000 times higher than any known material. This new material is made by spreading fine particles of cuprous chloride (with semiconductor properties) onto a special glass. The fine cuprous chloride particles are only 5 to 10 nanometers in diameter. After the cuprous chloride particles are melted onto the special glass, they are subjected to heat treatment before cooling, thus producing uniform fine particles.
