Nonlinear optical inclusion complexes

摘要

Inclusion complexes have an organic guest molecule dye with an electron donor portion, an electron acceptor portion and a hydrophobic tail portion disposed within an organic carbohydrate host molecule. The dye in the inclusion complexes has improved thermal stability compared to itself. The complexes can be used to form a solution-cast film disposed on a substrate wherein the film thickness is up to about 20 microns and the film is made of anisotropically self-aligned (self-poled) inclusion complexes.
