| Summary |
Nonlinear Optics of Organic Molecules and Polymers presents theoretical approaches, measurement techniques, materials, technologies, and applications of modern nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. It provides an excellent overview of the exciting new advances in NLO materials and their applications in emerging photonics technologies. Features: provides complete coverage of the field - from basic optical physics to advanced theoretical modeling and molecular engineering; summarizes all NLO materials published through 1995, including second- and third-order NLO materials, and electro-optic, photorefractive, and optical limiting materials; discusses photonics technologies and applications of all NLO materials; includes 320 figures, 225 tables, 1150 chemical structures, 850 equations, and more than 2,000 citations |
