Organic nonlinear optical media

摘要

In one embodiment this invention provides a nonlinear optical medium which consists of a transparent solid substrate coated with a Langmuir-Blodgett deposition of at least one molecular monolayer of uniaxial aligned charge asymmetric quinodimethane molecules, such as 7,7-bis(hexadecylamino)-8,8-dicyanoquinodimethane: <IMAGE>
