<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide design, synthesis, application, and a device based on advanced nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. <P>SOLUTION: In various embodiments, chromophores containing novel electron acceptors, novel electron donors, and/or novel conjugated bridges are described, and these are useful in nonlinear optical applications. In some embodiments, the present invention provides chromophore structures in which a chromophore contains more than one electron acceptor electrically connected to a single electron donor, and/or more than one electron donor electrically connected to a single electron acceptor. Methods for providing materials comprising the novel chromophores and polymers containing the novel chromophores are also described. An electro-optic device described in this specification contains one or more of the described electron acceptors, electron donors, conjugated bridges, or chromophores. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
