1st Edition

Characterization Techniques and Tabulations for Organic Nonlinear Optical Materials

Edited By Mark G. Kuzyk, Carl V. Dirk Copyright 1998

    "Furnishes table of nonlinear optical properties of organic substances as well as experimental procedures for measuring the nonlinearity of the elements tabulated, including composite materials-offering support for scientists and engineers involved in characterizing, optimizing, and producing materials for manufacturing optical devices."

    Introduction - conventions and standards for nonlinear optical processes; practical computational approaches to molecular properties; relationship between the molecular and bulk response; linear optics; electro-optic effect; second harmonic generation; two-photon absorption; z-scan; four-wave mixing tables and measurement techniques; third harmonic generation.
