PHENOLIC CONFIGURATIONALLY LOCKED POLYENE BULK SINGLE CRYSTALS, CRYSTALLINE THIN FILMS AND WAVEGUIDES FOR ELECTRO-OPTICS AND THZ-WAVE APPLICATIONS

摘要

The invention concerns Phenolic Configurationally Locked Polyene Single Crystals, which are especially suited as highly efficient nonlinear optical organic material. The invention also concerns methods for growth of crystalline thin films or bulk crystals from melt and/or solution. The compounds are suited and the methods may be used for manufacturing optical elements for several bulk and integrated applications, e.g. electro-Optics and THz-Wave applications.
