Organic nonlinear optical media

摘要

In one embodiment this invention provides a light switch or light modulator device having a nonlinear optical component which is a blend of organic constituents exhibiting nonlinear optical response. Illustrative of the organic nonlinear optical component is a transparent film consisting of a blend of (1) a host thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer such as: <IMAGE> and (2) an organic compound such as: <IMAGE>
