Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Spots of second harmonic generation (SHG) are produced from nanopatterned sub‐micrometer areas of nonlinear polymer media</bold>. Information is written by using a biased‐AFM tip, a highly nonlinear polymer (poly(methyl metha‐acrylate)‐<italic>co</italic>‐Disperse Red 1), and a novel "floating‐tip nanolithography" (FTN) technique. Dipoles are oriented and aligned at the nanoscale under the biased‐AFM tip, resulting in SHG production. The information is storable over weeks. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg1xppb573" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
