Investigation of the Cubic Non-Linearity of New Organometallic Cyano-Containing Polymers by Z-Scan and Two Beam Coupling With Spectral Resolving

Abstract

This report results from a contract tasking Universite de Montpellier II as follows: The contractor will investigate the nonlinear optical properties of organic and organo-metallic polymers and hybrid organic-inorganic composites. These materials exhibit strong nonlinear properties with fast (femtosecond) response times. These materials are potentially useful for optical switching of telecommunications devices, phase conjugation, optical limiters, and optical multiplexing. Advances in these subjects can significantly improve performance of Air Force optical and telecommunications systems.
