Structural Relaxation and Nonlinear Zero-Point Fluctuations as the Origin of the Anisotropic Third-Order Nonlinear Optical Susceptibility in Trans-(CH) X

TL;DR: In this paper, a parallel theory effort aimed at a general understanding of the nonlinear optical properties of organic polymer materials is presented. But the experimental studies of prototype systems must therefore be performed in order to guide a parallel theoretical effort.

Second harmonic generation studies of intrinsic and extrinsic relaxation dynamics in poly(methy1 methacrylate)

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of charge and temperature on both the decay and the much less studied onset modes of SHG signal at temperatures above the glass transition has been examined, and it is shown that the onset and the decay times are not coincident.

Guest-Host Molecular Ensembles for Nonlinear Optics

TL;DR: In this paper, structural strategies for assembling bulk materials for nonlinear optics are discussed, based on the concepts of guest-host inclusion complexation, and the fabrication and properties of optical quality materials for third order nonlinear optical based on nanoscale particles of semiconductors included in polymer media.

The Electro-Optical Effect in Poled Side Chain Polymers

TL;DR: In this article, the linear electro-optical effect has been studied in test samples of two different nonlinear optical polymers, with Tg of 140°C and 175°C, during and after poling.
