Embodiments of the present disclosure provide non-linear optical compounds and compositions comprising a silole-derivative. In an embodiment, the silole derivative comprises a chromophore including a structure represented by Formula (A): wherein each Of R1, R2, R3, and R4 are independently selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen atom, a C1-10 linear alkyl group, a C1-10 branched alkyl group, a C5-10 aryl group, a heteroaryl group, an alkene group, an alkyne group, a cycloalkene, a cycloalkyne, and a substituted or unsubstituted heteroatom and X1 and X2 are each independently selected from the group consisting of O, S, and Se. Compositions formed from embodiments of the silole derivative may be used in non-linear optical devices, particularly passive and active optical waveguides.
