Development and Utilization of Device Quality Nonlinear Optical Materials

Abstract

Organic electro-optic materials have been prepared in quantity in support of prototype device development efforts at the University of Southern California and at industrial and government Laboratories. In addition to preparing quantities of materials appropriate for device fabrication efforts, a systematic improvement of electro-optic materials has been carried out. Properties such as electro-optic activity, optical loss, processability, and stability have been systematically improved to the point that organic electro-optic materials equal or exceed the performance properties of inorganic materials.
