Solid‐State Reversible Quadratic Nonlinear Optical Molecular Switch with an Exceptionally Large Contrast. (27th June 2013) - Sun, Zhihua
Abstract Exceptional nonlinear optical (NLO) switching behavior, including an extremely large contrast (on/off) of ∼35 and high NLO coefficients, is displayed by a solid‐state reversible quadratic NLO switch. The favorable results, induced by very fast molecular motion and anionic ordering, provides impetus for the design of a novel second‐harmonic‐generation switch involving molecular motion.
